To the entire Becker clan...There are not words enough to say how I feel about your dad. I was so lucky to have considered him a friend, confidant, mentor and especially 2nd dad. He taught me so much not only about our business but about life. The memories I have I will hold dear for a lifetime. I am honored to have known him and a better person for it. The love he had for all of you was unmatched. He couldn't have been more proud of you all. As much as I'm saddened by his loss I can't help but smile when I think...I'll bet Viv's doing a jig because she's finally got her boyfriend back by her side where he belongs! They were a couple that defines true love! So a toast to your dad for being the wonderful person he was and for making this world a better place by being in it!! I love him to death and always will...thank you for sharing him!! Love & prayers to you all!!
