My Dad and I were very much a like. We would always butt heads but that helped me to be a strong person and stand up for myself. He hated when I did stood up to him but he loved it when stood up to others. He wasn’t good at expressing his feelings but I know he loved me in his own way. He was always there for me when I needed him the most. I miss him terribly and will always keep him close to my heart. I love you Dad, Amy
I miss you so much already, Dad. I remember helping you pick out lotto numbers with our family’s birthdays. Coaching countless basketball games. You always loved to tell the story when you couldn’t make it one game until half time and we were down 20 something points and when you showed up we won the game! My love of oldies music is from you. Thanks for being there for me when I needed you. I love you. ~Jennifer
