I will miss you Dad! I will always tell the story of you saving the pelican in the middle of a tropical storm. You spent days outside in the rain and wind, earning his trust. Holding the wounded bird while hand feeding it raw fish. Eventually the bird gave you his trust and allowed you to carefully remove the fishing wire that bounded the birds wings and body. Your dedication to save the birds life shows the kind of soul that you had. ultimately the stormed passed and the bird picked up by the team at Flordia State to live on in a bird sanctuary. Your kindness will be remebered.
