My father was the absolute example of a kind and brave and funny human being. He often played music while he drove and after he passed away I found a collection of CD s in his car. Elvis, Johnny Cash, Cab Calloway, Louis Prima so many more Jimmy Durante (you get the gist) When your smiling ...so many more... he uplifted people and changed their lives. The region he coached to become number one was actually something he regularly did for people. Giving hope, laughs and fun as well as hard work with style. I heard a lot of funny stories about him but he always went to church and believed in the Lord a very humble loyal father.
