A patriot. A father. A husband. A friend. A Good man. My Dad. March 3rd at 1130pm, he passed away in peace at my home, surrounded by his children. It was my honor and my pleasure to have cared for him in his final days. We are all blessed to have had him in our lives. Daddy, we’ll miss you here, and will see you again.
