Remarks I made at Dad's funeral on April 17, 2010:
I recall mostly childhood memories of my Dad perhaps because that is where I spend most of my time now as a father myself of three children: 7 and 5 years and 10 months old.
I remember…
•Riding his leg when he came home from work
•Playing in his closet
•Camping trips in the pop-up camper
•RV trips in monstrous motor homes
•Sitting in the big chair with Dad eating popcorn
•I remember him at the breakfast table
•Visits to the Police Dept
•Riding in his Police Cruiser
•And I kept track of when he was going to be home.
As I mature as a father I’m realizing that kids are a lot of responsibility and require a lot from parents who are just trying to survive the stresses and pace of life. My Mom and Dad also endured those same struggles to keep the wheels on the cart and raise two children. I appreciate my Dad who worked hard on a dangerous job for a modest pay and was committed to making sure that his kids never lacked anything. Being a father, husband, and provider are tall orders and unfinished works and I remember my Father as all three. Thank you Dad for seeing us through. Thank you for the gift of life and thank you for being there. Some people never have the chance to be born, know their father or have the opportunity to say goodbye one last time and I have had the opportunity for all of these.
The stakes are higher for us now. The cold reality check of our mortality reminds me that time is precious, life is precious and we have to live right now and bear fruitful lives. The baton of life has been passed to all of us to carry on: especially his sons & daughters. We must carry on his legacy to live life to its fullest and to carry on with our responsibilities, our work and our families. To continue Dad’s example of hard work, commitment and love for his family & fellow man. We must honor & respect Him with our whole lives just as we strive to honor God with our lives.
As I reflect on conversations with my Dad in recent years, I know he called upon the name of the Lord Jesus to be saved. I believe that I will see him again one day and we’ll be able to catch up on old times. I look forward to when all things are made new again and we can fellowship in the glory of our Savior & God. I look forward to hearing “well done” from both my Fathers. Philippians 4:8 says “whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.”
The amazing grace
Of the Master, Jesus Christ
The extravagant love of God
The intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit
Be, with you
Unto Him
Who is able to keep you from falling
And present you faultless before
The presence of His glory
With exceeding joy
May the grace of our Lord be with you
Now and always may you stay
Blameless till He comes
May the love of our Lord be with you
Now and always may you stay
Blameless till He comes

As a veteran officer when I came to work in the JDR Court Clerk's office in the 80's, Officer Allen immediately made me feel I belonged. He was a good buddy and it was always a pleasure to see his name on the docket for us although I'm sure the numerous juvenile defendant's would not agree.
