Dad and I throughout the years spent alot of time together ❤. We used to go on walks and have long discussions about anything and everything. He gave me the nick name Jr... guess we had a few things in common. We used to have movie dates, field trip dates to the mall to people watch, and lunch in the boat house on a summer day. He played the organ and accordion so wonderfully. Self taught.
Dad loved his granddaughters Amanda Jessie and Becky so much. They were his buddys. Dad and mom would always call and take them for sleep overs all the time. They have wonderful memories to cherish. We love you Dad
