Rest in heaven Dad. I will forever remember our time together as father/son and as friends. Who else drives to Indy and watches four basketball games and then drives to Nashville at 4am the next morning to watch the Cats play? I am proud to carry on your legacy and enjoy life fully like you would want me to. This isn't goodbye - it's until next time. ❤ Ted C.
