My Dad was a bright light. When spending time with my Dad these last years I always took lots of pictures with him and Betty to document my memories with him. Many of my friends saw them as I posted them on Face Book.. So in almost every one of the condolence messages left on my post about Dad´s passing they commented on his Great Smile and for those who met him, what a character he was.. He will always be a bright spot in my heart
