He was a wonderful Dad! He worked two jobs to support us all and yet, when he came home from the paper route, he fixed us all breakfast while our mom took a shower and got the laundry ready. He was absolutely focused on his kids being ready for school--hot breakfast, coffee (mostly milk) if it was cold. Nothing was as important as doing well in school. When we got home and he came home from his job as insurance salesman--he never failed to be willing to play with us in the backyard. I, as the oldest and only girl with 5 brothers, NEVER heard the words ..You can't do that because you are a "girl". He let me work with him on all kinds of projects. He insisted that I read the newspaper daily so that I could argue politics with him based on "facts"! I was a liberal & he was a conservative so that was the touch pad of our political arguments. Once I even hit him in the stomach because he was laughing at me. He laughed even harder. He never bragged about any of his past accomplishments--a Golden Gloves Champion, a student who overcame both starting late in high school and entering the Navy yet graduating on time. Being sent to University so he could become a pilot --with the end of the war and my mother being pregnant with me, he was discharged honorably. A total family man with 6 children, his focus was always on his family's success. When he got to meet my stepson Seque at 14, he told me to stand aside as Seque was going to become a man and needed to know how to change a tire--truer words!! With our granddaughter Renee he was loving and funny, the way he was with us. One time when we visited him, he wore a live lizard as an ear ring while Renee screamed with delight. So humorous YES, Caring YES, tough YES, and definitely loving. He died in my arms on the morning of his 88th birthday & I was so grateful to have had that last moment with him. Rest In Peace!!

Dad was born at home on Friday, May 13th, 1923. He died exactly 88 years later, in his own home, on Friday, May 13th, 2011. He waited for my sister, Kathy to arrive before he passed.
He was the most unselfish, loving, and devoted father. I will miss him so much! May God Bless his soul throughout eternity.

Dear Rick,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad. Having lost both of my parents, I know how it feels to lose them. I didn't find out until after the funeral or I would have been there. Just know that I am thinking of you and all the Kaisers during this difficult time.

I was so saddened to hear of your father's passing. I know he put up a great battle against his disease. I also know how much you all loved him and will miss him. I send you all my heartfelt sympathies and wishes for comfort. I only met your father a couple of times but I remember he always had a smile on his face. God bless.

My dad died in my arms, he was relieved to have his struggles over. He was a tremendous dad and my partner Cheryl and our granddaughter Renee Harrison loved him deeply and cherished our annual visits to see him. His sense of humor and of family were great gifts he gave to those who loved him. I want to acknowledge the tremendous care provided by hospice during his last months and thank Sister Anne for her help.

My Dad was a wonderful man and my best friend. He lived a happy life. It was ended by a difficult struggle with bone cancer on his 88th birthday. Thanks to Community Hospice of North Florida for their support and help during the last 6 months!
