DAD

Thanks for all you did for us
from diapers to waiting up at night
To showing Bobby and Rory
how to hold a golf club right.

You taught us to never give up
and to finish what you start
and your notes to Lil Stink at Xmas
that always came from the heart.

You always preached a firm handshake
even to Robin and Roxie's dates
Always happy & organized with tools
building doll houses, decks and gates.

So glad you recently went fishing
something you loved to do
And will be forever grateful
to Mom for taking care of you.

We will miss and remember you always
sharing memories of a wonderful Dad
Telling stories to family and friends
of the memorable moments we had.

Dad, Robert, Bob and Moose
some of the names you were called
But you will always to remembered as
Loving Stink, Dad, and Paw-Paw!!

Love you Dad,
Roxie

Dad,

I am going to miss you immensely. Family was the most important thing to you, and you were always there for us. Don’t worry about Mom. We will take care of her and constantly remind her of the wonderful memories our family has shared.

Your shoes were impossible to fill at the U.S. Postal Service and I was so proud to tell you I had reached the executive ranks a few years ago. We both started at the bottom of the totem pole and you retired with 35 years of dedicated service. You have been my role model throughout my 29 years. I’m almost there, Dad!

Be at peace. You were truly one in a million and you touched so many lives in your own special way.

Love you dearly,
Robin

Son, brother, husband, uncle, father, grandfather.
