Dad,
Not a day will go by that I won't miss you or think of you. I will miss your kind face and sweet voice as well as your laughter and advice you were always giving. A girl could not ask for a better father and role model. Love you always!!! Alyson

Becky, Allison and Carlton you all know that your husband/dad was one of the best men to walk this earth. In my difficult time last year he was so helpful to me, spending hours with me and Larry. His faith in Christ and his willingness to help others and his love of you all and his grandsons defined him. He will be very much missed but now he is in the arms of Christ.
