My dad was silly and loving. He had a rough life while we were growing up he finally came onto his own. He was a fun loving guy who loved his family, even though he had a hard time showing it sometimes.
My favorite memory is watching him cook. He truly loved it and was an amazing chef.

My most favorite moment with my dad was the day he told me he was sorry for the way he acted when he was young.

My dad always made me laugh but the goofy little things he did like making the frogs in his fish tank "Doodahs" he would say it overtime they popped up for air. He was a silly guy.

I will always remember his prime rib! Absolutely amazing!

He loved watching a football game or car race and fishing.

I loved going to the races with him. I also loved fishing with him.

One thing I learned from my dad is to always give people a second chance. Had I not given him a second chance I would never have gotten to enjoy him in his later years. I miss you dad.
