A good man taken from this earth so quickly. As quietly as he lived his life here. This world knows not what it has lost. A man of humility, of such kindness and honor, and integrity. A life lived well that touched so many of us, A shining beacon to all of us left behind to guide us as we make our way through a world riddled with imposters. We only need to look toward his light, his life, to be remembered of the beauty and simplicity of a dedicated hard working man who had a lot of love for his family and friends.

I miss you, Dad
