Dad was someone who wanted to learn new things and be active. I remember dad teaching me how to ride a dirt bike starting from age 7 to 15. That was challenging but there are many great memories. He also taught me how to ride a horse, among many other things a dad is to teach his daughter about life. He was a wonderful dad and always there for me and my children. I enjoyed seeing his love for my mother. I was raised in a loving home. He will never be forgotten.
