Thank you for being the father that you were to all of us. You and Mom had to go through a lot with me over the years. With all the trips we had to make to the hospital to get stitches and casts meant that I always kept you on your toes waiting for my next accident. But mostly dad, thanks for saving my life after I got shot, who knows what would've happened if you weren't home to rush me to the hospital. Thank you for all the support with all the sporting activities you tought me along the way. I miss golfing with you and all the conversations we shared over the years. I might not have been your favorite son but you were always the best dad a man could ask for. Thank you for everything and know you are and always will be missed. Love your middle son, Bill. Love you pops.

Chuck was one of the good ones. Regrettably, we will be out-of-state for the services, or we would proudly attend to pay our respects.
