Dad, we all will miss you. You were always there when we needed you. You taught valuable lessons and were always there if we needed words of wisdom or a listening ear. You continually provided sound advice and did so without judgment.

We find comfort in knowing that he lives on through the love he shared, the lessons he taught, and the memories we will always cherish.
