My Daddy, My hero, My Best Friend. I thought THE WORLD of my dad and I always tried so hard to make him proud. He was taken from me way too soon, but he's with my mom now, the love of his life. I miss them both so much. Until we meet again... XoXoX

I'm sorry for your loss. I will miss him. He did a good job at Whitehall Quarry. He stopped in every once in a while and just talk. He talked highly about both of his daughters. From his X-Boss "Sorry Again"
