My stepfather/dad was a good person inside and out. Georgie and my mother(Linda Sparks)raised four awesome children. Georgie always tried to see the good in people and tried hard to keep the peace in the house with two teenage girls and two teenage boys. lol

You will be truly missed and truly loved.

Your daughter/stepdaughter(La Cresha Sparks)
