He will never be gone as long as he is in your heart. If there is anything we can do just call I'll be there.

My head is full of wonderful memories of you Daddy but my heart is empty without you. My life will go on until the day we meet again in heaven. I will always have your wonderful smile in my mind and the memories of what a wonderful dad you were. You made me who I am today......I will always love and respect you.
Your daughter, Sherry

Your smile will be missed and the hidden grin in your laugh will always be heard in my mind. Everyone one should be lucky enough to have an Uncle like you. Peace be with those you loved.
