Ronnie and Scott,
We are very sorry for your loss. Though we did not know your father well, it was very apparent how kind and gentle of a man he was. You were lucky to have a special Dad who influenced you both in such a positive way. The two of you share the kind, gentle ways of your Dad and that is something you will always be proud of.

Scott and Kelli , I am so sorry for your loss. The loss of a parent is one of the hardest things to go through in life. I never met your Dad but knowing you I have no doubt he was a great guy, and he was blessed to have you for a son and Kelii for a daughter in law. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Dear Scott & Kelli,
I am very sad to hear of your dad's passing. What can one say to help you through this? Scott, I am sorry I never got to know your dad but if you are any reflection of the man he was then he must have been an amazing person. It seems right to the end he didn't want anyone to worry about him, which proves he was strong and caring. You should be comforted to know that he passed knowing what a caring, stand up man you are and that you have accomplished so many things and have had the chance to truly enjoy life. What more could a parent want for their children. What a peaceful feeling. Sometimes we forget that we are only here for a short time. I love you both so much! You will be in my thoughts.
