Thank you for giving me two loving brothers John and Mike. As you begin your new life with mom please tell her I said hi and I love her. Dad I sure will miss you as the days come and go, but I know one thing, I know were you are and I will meet you someday. Dad I thank you for all you did for me through the years growing up. I can remember all those days you would work from dark in the morning to dark in the evening just to provide for our family. You did this all your life without complaining one single time. Dad thank you for your guidance and steering me in the right directions making me the strong man that I am today. Dad if it was not for your teachings of family values I would not have met my wife and have two wonderful boys Scott and Raymond that I can call my sons. Dad I will miss you saying “DO YOU WANT TO GO AND GET SOMETHING TO EAT” every time I would come visit you.I will miss going with you to Perkins and getting something to eat with you on my days off, but now who is going to come over and fall asleep on my couch and eat ice cream with me. Dad I still have ice cream in my freezer from the last time you were over, Do you want me to scoop you a big bowl of it? I will miss joking around with you and chasing you around Walmart because you were always driving the handicap cart like a NASCAR driver. Dad i can remember when i was about fifteen the time that you went and bought an old pick up truck and when you got it home you told me that me and you was going to build a monster motor truck out of it and i thought to myself “yeah right like we’re going to build something like that” but the following week you took me outside and started teaching me about hand tools and working on trucks. We took that truck apart piece by piece down to the frame. You showed me how to cut then weld the frame back together. Dad you also taught me about suspensions, drive shafts, transmissions and shocks. You basically taught me everything I know about building a truck. Then after rebuilding the truck with you I was so proud of what you and I did together I told everyone and anyone just how proud I was of you, and how you let me work by your side. These are the kind of memories I hold dear to my heart. The kind we shared together. Thank you for the memories of us sitting and talking about how you grew up and the stories of your childhood.Thank you for all the camping trips that we went on growing up and showing me how to start a fire and all the times sitting around the campfire telling stories. Dad do you see Rambo up there, he really missed you, I bet he is happy to see you and wagging his tail. I’m sure that you have seen grandma and grandpa since you been up there with God. Please tell them I said hi and I love them as well. Dad I can sit here all night and type of all the things that you did for me through the years of my life but I would have to chop down allot of trees and that still would not be enough paper to print them all on. So dad I just want to say thank you and I love you very very much and I will miss you all through the coming days and years but you will always be in my heart. As the saying goes dad I’m just going to tell you good night and not good bye because I know someday I will see you again. So until then I love you with all my heart. Love James
