    Dad liked making kids laugh. He loved telling stories and jokes. He would dance "jigs" and try to get the kids to copy him. He loved joking with people.  My dad always had his own sense of humor. When we were little, he would cook dinner on his day off. Instead of telling us we were having roast for dinner, he would tell us we were having bull butt. He got the biggest kick out of it and we would call mom at work crying because dad was feeding us butt meat.      
     He  was the person who taught me about Elvis Presley and Ricky Nelson. He taught me how to ride a bike and drive a car. He taught us how to throw and hit a baseball/softball. He always went to our games when he wasn't working. 
    When I was in high school, dad would pick me up from practice. As we were going home, I would change the talk radio station on his AM car radio to the only AM pop channel I could find. He would sing along to whatever song he knew. Paula Abdul - Straight Up was one of the best because he would jump in with the "oh, oh, oh" part right on que. 
     Family was always important to dad. I know he wasn't perfect, but who is? He was my dad. I will love him and miss him always. So comforting to know that we will see each other again one day. 

My first memories of your dad(Rene)  are riding home from basketball games together. We had so much fun making up silly songs( if that's what you'd call them) and referring to your dad as Daddio and he would just laugh along. We were probably so annoying but he just acted like we were his best part of the day. I loved going to your house because I love you but also because there was always so much joy. It felt like your house was my second home and I even called your parents mom and dad ! Your dad had the best testimony for joy in Christ and not all christians have that. He loved his family so much and it showed everytime I spent time with y'all. And oh yeah,  I never thought I would love wrestling  til we watched it with your mom and dad and brothers. Your family definitely brought a big huge helping of fun to my life. I feel so lucky to have had those times with you all. I'm praying for comfort for you all and of course you know you will be reunited. "We believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him"1Thess 4:14  sending lots of love and prayers to you,your mom, and brothers.

My Uncle Steve was everything an uncle should be...funny, loving, caring.  What I will always remember most is how he could captivate a room with the stories he would tell.  He was so animated with his expressions and hand movements that he could make any story interesting & funny.  Thank you Uncle Steve for the memories, and for being such a great big brother to my dad, and leaving the lasting impact that you have.  You will truly be missed.  Love you

Jana
