Chris, I'm sorry our time together was so short. But we still had a lot of fun. Going on rides and picking on mom. I don't think you realize how much you are truly missed. I want to thank you for taking in me and my boys when my family wasn't there for us. My boys loved you like you were their pepe forever. You will live on through your kids and grankids. They all love you so much. I have never been a part of such a close family so again thank you. You built an amazing family!!! Rip dad / pepe
