Dad, I don't really know what I would've done thru out my lifetime with out you there.Over the years we had some really great adventures from Richland to Savana, to Hanover, then to Stockton. You will be truly missed, you worked hard to keep family together but sometimes that's all you can do. I was able to survive all my cards that were delt to me so for thanks to you. When I think about you , I think of the good things you stand for and the wise things you taught me but most of all I think about how "LUCKY" I am to have a "DADDY" like you.So now you are off to a new and wonderful journey now. You have a wonderful family waiting for you. Tell them Hi and give Mom & Janie a kiss from me. P.S. HAPPY FATHERS DAY FOR ALWAYS AND FOREVER, Love Janice :)
