I love and miss you so much.I loved it when you were in Woodside and I had my Doctors Appointment every month or two.I would come to visit after my Doctors appointment in Santa Clara.We would go down the road to Bucks for dinner and you and Aunt Adele would have your hot fudge sundae after a hugh meal. You both said there's always room for ice cream.Then the two of you told me about when you were stationed in florida shortly after you had been married. You would go across the street every...

For over forty years you were the father I never had. Before you passed away I fell in the James river in Missouri. The current took me under and wrapped me on some branches. I managed to escape. The current took me under again. The water was very clear and warm, I never panic. After the current was done with me I got out. You thought me how to swim. You are always in my prayers.

My dad always loved Chet. He was one of my dads best friends and helped him out tremendously and he considered him a great friend. May his memory be eternal.

Daddy always told me he thought so much of me and I know he did. I would get a phone call out of no where and it was him just checking on me. I loved our talks and...
