“To My Dad~

This is about a man who got the Silver Star in the army who led his troops to take out Hitler! It's also about a father that was always there for his son, that's me! I have never met a more Honest hard working man in my entire life! If there was ever a one of a kind, that was my Dad! He took his life savings and put it down on me to buy White Pond Drive Thru, where me and my Dad worked side by side for 26 years, creating a place with a Love for all races This love for the friends that we've made is a lesson for society to learn from! There will never be a greater gift than creating a life where everyone feels Loved! Thank You God for giving me the best Dad Ever!”~Gene
