Of him being my dad. He was funny and could sing and dance like no other. A place that reminds me of my dad would be Grand Gorge Canajoharie. To dance and sing. He made me laugh that time when he burped in his cup to make my step mom mad because that´s not how you raise lady´s. At the time my father had all girls. His love of music. When dad took me driving for the first time and never did again. Can´t blame him though. I drive like my mother. We enjoyed singing together.

Dad was a man with an odd sense of humor. But funny. He loved to sing with us kids all the time. He was known by all the he loved to sing Paradise By the dashboard lights with us girls. When his boys were born I´d never seen him so happy. He will be sorely missed. By all five children and 9 biological children and 3 nonbiological grandchildren born to Amber Trembley. This pictures posted below are one of dad , my husband Joe and I. Then dad Keith and his two other brothers Ken and Billy. The next his his father grandmother dad and brother Keith. The last is dad , Keith and their grandfather Esther Whittaker. Loved by many missed by all. Especially my Aunt Anna on my mother´s side. They had a true friendship growing up. As did my Aunt Peggy and cousin Robert. We will miss you to the moon and back Dad.
