Dad,
Thank you for being a wonderful father and friend. You always made sure your children were taken care of and had what we needed. Thank you for our talks when you saw me off course, you always made sure I was on the right road to success. I will miss you telling me you love me, and the kiss that would follow. I will miss the phone calls at work when you would identify yourself Will, this is your dad. You would see something on the news and you would call me to make sure I was okay. I love you very much my beautiful father, I will carry you in my heart forever.
Love you always, Will and the kids.
