I will always love him and cherish the good times we had together. He was a wonderful father to me when I needed one. I will always remember our saturday trips to McDonalds and him getting me my first bicycle and teaching me to ride it. For the first time in my young life He made me feel like I was part of a family. I will always love him and will keep the memories we had together close in my heart. I regret my three children never got the opportunity to meet him. he was a wonerful person.
