Dad, what a live you have lived. I'm so fortunate to have known you. I loved being able to make you laugh. I like to share stories with you about a new power tool I had learned to use. And all the mistakes I made in the process. We shared the love of puzzles, Cubs and Da Bears. You have been the strength and the glue of your family. We love you to the Moon and will miss you so very much. Rest well Dad. You deserve it
