Dad will be greatly missed by all of his children and grandchildren. When all his children graduated from College, he gave us a Bronze Hot Air Balloon symbolizing that we could be and achieve anything in life, we can go as high and our opportunities are limitless. Thanks Dad for all your good advice. We are so grateful and appreciate all your love and devotion. May you rest in peace. You will be missed and we love you.
