What a Wonderful World.. A man that lived for life, friends, family and fun. He will be missed dearly. He taught people how to laugh, have fun, and enjoy others. He was one that never judged another and enjoyed the company of all. His legacy will be remembered as a smile, bright sunshine, and a kamikazee with a cold beer chaser. Drive Fast, Take Chances and We Will See You At The Beach. I know Rock and Roll Heaven is a great place. We will miss you Dad!
