Dad, I still can't come to grips with the fact that you are not with us anymore. I keep waiting for you to call and make me laugh. You always had a way of knowing when I was going to call you and you would call me first. You were such a light to our family and to say you were a character is an understatement. We are going to miss you so very much and our family will forever be different without you especially this first Christmas. I know you are with Jesus now and we will meet again we will forever keep you in our hearts. I love you dad...thank you for not only being my father-in-law and dad but also my friend. God Speed
