Dawn and Paul your dad was the best Seabee Chief I ever knew. You probably dont remember me but I remember you and your mom and dad. He used to agrivate me about smoking and when I worked for him I ate Lemon drops and he teased me about that too. Learned more about the Seabees from him than anyone else in the Navy. I would love to have been able to talk to him one more time. He was the first person I told when I started dating my husband. Wonderful man who I know loved you both very much.. know he will be missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
