Dad, I will miss talking with you and the excitement in your voice whenever I called. You were a true professional who believed in integrity, something that is sorely lacking today. I followed your example and have lived my life as such. I am thankful for your humor and your story telling. The past year was difficult for you after Mom left us, but now you are with her again. You have passed the torch to me to lead our family, and I will strive every day to meet your standards. I love you Dad.

Grandpa was an intelligent, funny and sentimental man who was always surprising us with his humor and wit. He was also very sentimental, and often covered up tears whenever we had to say goodbye during our many visits. We will miss him but are happy that he is reunited with grandma and at peace. We love you grandpa!
