Daddy/Papa was the most AMAZING man we ever had the privilege of loving. There is no other man in our lives that has impacted us the way he has. Daddy/Papa helped us all see the impact of a positive attitude and how laughter can make any frown turn upside down. He was famously known for giving all his kids a hard time with a huge smile and laughter following. He will be missed terribly and never forgotten. We love you forever and always!
