All though you were just a father in law to me. I thought of you as my dad. You always did what you could for everyone. You were an inspiration to all. I was very greatful that my kids got to learn and grow with you. They truly enjoyed being with you. My son will never get over the way you always put after shave on him. Or you forgot your glasses and he would get them for you.And how you tought him his first curse word. My daughter will never forget how you always helped her with her homework or helped her with projects. But both of my kids will miss the trips to burger king and the park by the river. Dad you showed me and everyone else the meaning of life. Don't be causing to much trouble up there. Say hi to my pappy, uncles, and cousin for me. You and my pappy should get along well. Dad I will always remember you. I miss you and love you lots.

Pop, hey up there....I know you are watching out for all of us down here just as you always did. I love you and miss you so much. I just wish you were still here, it seems so strange to walk in the door and not see your smiling face. I will always hold you close in my heart and my thoughts and just wait until the day when I will be able to stand next to you and hug you again... I love you pop make sure you save a good seat for me. Love, Patty

My Dad was my hero, he taught me everything about life. He never did anyone wrong. He was always happy, and always smiled. My father was the strongest man, I ever knew. This man was an inspiration to everyone. I just want to say thank-you for being my father, and always being there, for the good and bad. I love you, I WILL ALWAYS remember you
