He was my Stepdad but no one could be any stronger a dad than him. Here's a man who married an already built family with 3 children. My mom had passed and later in his life he married a woman with 3 more children. He certainly deserves a medal in Heaven for his life he shared on earth. He is missed and loved by us. God bless you Dad.
