Any man can be a father,but it takes a special man to be a dad,and my father was one of those special men who is a dad. Always there for all of us,and never will be forgotten.He is loved so very much. I was lucky enough to spend alot of time with him during these past 5yrs,some of which were trying for him and I hope I was able to give him back at least some of the love he showed me during his life. I love you dad!!

He was the best father in law, always had something kind to say or had a quick joke. I will miss him terribly but I am comforted that he is at peace.
