We loved you dearly. You were a great Father figure to us and Grandfather to our children. You were a kind, loving, and generous man, but most of all a man of integrity providing an example to all of us. We miss you and know you are in the presence of God and all of his glory.
Love, Richard, Lisa, Tiffany, & Chris.
