Dad, we will miss you immensely. You made sure our mother never wanted for anything and you were our "go-to" when life got rough, you were our sanity in this crazy world, and our comfort when we needed clarity.

You were always someone we could count on, and although you were a straight shooter, you always provided sound advice to us and your grandchildren.

We all love you and will miss you.
