I am so sorry for the loss of such a great man. I will miss him like my own dad!

Thank you for your service to our country. Rest in peace.

We will miss you forever, my beautiful Dad, and the boys Papa. As your only daughter, and born on Father's Day, you always told me, I was the best gift, you ever received. I take comfort in knowing, even across the miles, I and the boys shared a very close relationship, with you, and spoke everyday. You were, and have been, the very definition, of unconditional, love. You have shown me, how to put, my children first. We were always, inseperable.
The miles, never mattered. You visited us...
