Dad, I was so very blessed to be your youngest daughter.. Trina used to pick on me and say if you stopped too quick I'd go up your butt lol. I have the best memories of going to camp as a child with the family, going to the grill and you making me an egg sandwich and letting me get my fountain sprite. I remember you coming to field days and cheering me on even though I sucked. I remembered the day you walked me down the isle and how handsome you looked in your suit. The day I had your first and only granbaby, a boy, who would inherit your love of fishing. I remember you always ending a call with I love you and say your prayers. Explaining how there is good /light and bad/darkness in the world. How much you loved cars and a good meal.... I remember so much because you were a truly amazing and kind person. I'm not ready to let you go but I'll carry you with me every day in the music you loved and your fingers drumming the dash to the beat to keeping my oil changed. I LOVE YOU DAD!!!
