Thank you James Phillip Rowles for fathering the best man who ever lived- your son Thomas James Rowles. You taught him well and I believe the most important thing you ever taught him was "always do the right thing". Rest peacefully my father in law.

My father was a simple man who managed to live life on his terms. He crossed the finish line with his head held high, his words will continue to be an inspiration to me.
