Click the 'light a candle' link in honor of my Pop's! Shaun and I thought it would be fun to see how many of our friends and family would like a candle for my amazing Dad. I'm sure it would mean a lot to my Mom too. Thanks everyone!

I couldn't believe I was actually looking up your obituary. It still doesn't seem real, we all keep expecting to see you sitting in your seat. Or to hear you say some sort of wisecrack about something on t.v. Nothing is the same. Mom is heartbroken, missing her other half. Gregory and I were so lucky to have you for a father. You did great by us all and we couldn't be more proud of how hard you worked. I am afraid I will never know someone as intelligent, funny, creative, and interesting as you ever again. Everyone that had loved and or ever cared about you are in mourning. You were a rare splash of color in a very dull world. I love you so much and can't rightfully put into words how much you are missed. I know as long as Mom is still alive your spirit is going to be waiting right here with us. I'll always remember the things that you taught me and I'll keep my eyes open for your signs.
