No amount of any words could explain what my Dad meant to me. I feel so lost now knowing the person who guided me thru life and taught me right from wrong, is now gone. He was and will always be my idol and hero. I truley Loved my Dad, and wish we can turn back so I could tell him that more often than I did. I pray to one day walk hand in hand with you again Dad. I LOVE YOU and will always hold you deep in my heart. Your son, Jim Oldigs
