So many things that I could say- You were the best father that anyone could ask for. We had our moments, but there was unconditional love and support. Always a smile and a laugh. Those I will never forget.

He was a loving and kind man. Always with a smile and a loooong story. He was a blessing to have in our family. RIP Uncle John and I am sure you will find some crumbs to clean up in Heaven
