Dad, thanks for always being "THE EXAMPLE of what a Dad should be". The crazy planet we live on, is a lesser place with you gone. I hope others will try to mimic your Fatherly example. I will love you always.

Thanks for being my friend. I will love you forever. I will see you on the other side. Before then I will look after your legacy while I am here.
