This is an essay I wrote for school on somebody who inspired me most.His name was Josoph Roy Haines. He was born November 5th 1964 and died October 13th 2007. He was the best dad i ever had! 3 thing i loved best about him was he was very fun, outgoing and nice.When i got home every day after school and i needed help with homework ,the computer or anything joe was there to help me with any thing i needed. also it was the night of my bithday (i fell asleep) and joe put shaving cream on my face.joe was also a very outgoing person he was very sociable and got along with everyone. everyone loved him!! We coudnt go any where without having to stop to talk with someone he knew. I will always keep him in my heart. i loved him alot. i just wish i could have showed him that. I never got the chance to tell him thank you for making me and my family so happy. I know that even though i cant see him that he is right there sitting next to me,my mom and my brothers.

I had to write this essay for school on someone that inspired me.His name was Joseph R. Haines born Nov.5 1964 Died Oct.13 2007.He was the best dad I ever had.Three things I loved most about him was he was very fun,outgoing and always nice.Shaving cream all over my face,launching rockets at Crandal Field,ice cream on friday nights.He always helped me with my homework,the computer or anything I needed he was there.I will always keep him in my heart. I realize I didn`t get the chance to say Thank You for making my family happy again I was`nt sure that was possible again.I know I can`t see him but I know he is right next to me,mom,and my brothers.Even though I can`t tell him how much I love him he knows. He will be missed by us always.
Love, Courtny

Although I only met you a couple of times, you welcomed me into your home and circle of friends as if I had always belonged there. I remember you told me "any friend of Jan's is a friend of mine". Indeed you meant that. You will remain in my thoughts forever of Rhode Island and one of the best vacations I've ever had. I am so saddened by your passing and I know you will be truly missed.

Reflecting on those days at the pond from the camareo to the
el camino to those summer nights
of our youth.
We lost a member of our version
of the heart foundation.
Those who knew him best will all
share in a lost.
Leaving us way to early in life.
God Bless,
