You will surely be missed Dad. I am thankful for all the good memories I have especially the last few years when I was able to care for you and our trips to the casino, Atkins Farm and Cozy Corners to have their famous fish & chips. You could always make everyone laugh with your sense of humor. I learned a lot from you and you will always have a special place in my heart. Love you Dad
