Right before his sudden death, I had just bought a card for his birthday coming in April. The front in bold said, "To The Man That Was Like A Dad To Me". I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to give him the card that thanked him for all his sacrifices he made for me growing up. From the time I was 5, He DID raise my brother Kenny and I just like his own. We were so blessed to have such a giving man in our lives... for our families to enjoy also. Thanks also to Larry, my stepdad, I am blessed to have Kris and Kari in my life. Extends now to Tim and Ellie also. I will forever miss you and Love you. Thank you sooo much for all that you did for me. Love, Kim
