Happy Birthday! How wonderful to be such an inspirational, well loved and deeply missed father, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend! On the anniversary of your birth, you still live on!

Dear brother time for another birthday, I still shed tears. You were my very good friend, you always gave me answers. Cant tell you how much I miss you. Think of you every day.

Love from your son,
Steve
