He was my hero, rock, protector and friend. I was alway safe, loved and home when my dad was there. I have never met a more unselfish, honest, hard working and loving person than him. Even though he was a man of few words, you knew how important you were to him with just one wink of reassurance or a grin of pride. I could not be more proud to call him my dad. I love you Daddy
