Dear Dad, I want you to know as I am reflecting back on your life, I am feeling proud that you were my Dad. You were loved by so many and that can only happen by who you were. You lived a hard road, challenges, struggles, but you persevered, as you always told me "buck up". You did that always. You will always be my Daddy. Say Hi to Mom, Carol, Donna - you must be having a blast with everyone now. I'm sure your telling jokes, I can hear them in my mind. You are missed already. I love you. Nancy
