Noah and Andrew,
The two of you were the greatest joys in your dad's life. Please know that he loved you more than words could ever describe, and as someone who knew him very well, I am certain that he will keep you close to his heart, wherever he is. I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. He was a kind, genuine, and loyal friend, and he was so proud of you both. I hope you can hold your fondest memories in your hearts and let go of everything else. He was one of the best people I have ever had the honor to know, and I will be forever grateful that I had the privilege of knowing him.
