Dad,
You were the absolute best. I miss you every second. I am so grateful for the time I got with you. I will never forget our long trips back and forth from Key West to Fort Pierce listening to Barefoot Man or Jimmy Buffet, all the memories you gave us taking us camping with our friends and all those crazy nights you taking me & Wendy over tickle tummy hill in down town Fort Pierce in your convertible Spitfire. Thank you for all the memories that we will cherish forever. Rest In Peace Dad. I Love You So Much! ♥️
