Thank you dad for everything you did for us. You worked very hard for me and mom and you were always there with us. You showed me how to do many things with my hands and how to be a man. I am grateful for the years I got to spend with you going to many places and getting to see some amazing things. You always showed love and respect to my friends and family. I have some incredible memories and stories. I will always keep you close to me in my heart and soul dad. I will see you again someday. We will all miss you, more than words can say.

Dave was my brother, a protector to all us kids. We fondly called him Terry when we were kids. He got older wanted to be called Dave but he ll always be Terry to me. I will always love you and cherish you big brother. Hope all your pain is gone. Little sister Debby.
