John "Rob" Willingham

There are so many memories, how can I pick just one? Most knew him as Rob, but to me he´ll always be Daddy John. Daddy John came into my life when I was 16, bless his heart. He was the smartest man I´ve ever met. He and his patented Johnologies always made life interesting. Asking Daddy John to help with homework would turn a simple assignment into a college dissertation. He must have gotten his smarts from his momma. He was always quoting her. He really was the best stepdad a young woman could ask for. He taught me to trust people. He taught his granddaughter to ride her first bike. He walked me down the aisle. He inspired me to get my own education. My favorite is that he took me on my first real family vacation. Daddy John never made me feel like a stepdaughter. To him, I was just his daughter. I will always remember our time together. I love you Daddy John.
