One of his favorite places was to be at the beach with family. I will miss his smile, sense of humor and his antics at our family campouts.

It was always an honor and pleasure to sing with my Dad. Thank you Dad for giving me a love for the Lord, music and singing, hiking, photography and most of all you unconditional love. "I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free."

My father gave me the gift of music, a sense of adventure, a thirst for knowledge, and most importantly, he gave me his unconditional love. Dad, I will miss you! I await a reunion in heaven, "until then my heart will go on singing!"
Me and my Dad!
