Dad, I miss you so much already! You've "Hit the Road" for the final time. You taught me and shaped me into the person I am today. Whether it's taking care of family or the next person that walks in the shop that you welded something for free, It's always about others! Thank You for embedding that in my nature. I strive to live up to those traits everyday. To say I'm proud that your my father is an under-statement. Through all the "American Chopper" type arguments we endured we came came out more than father & son. We finished it off as friends and I promise to continue to do you proud!! I Love You and will miss you everyday until we meet again. God Speed !!
