Love you so much, Dad. Thank you for a wonderful life, for being a wonderful provider, mentor, and friend. Thank you for teaching me to always treat others like I would like to be treated. Thank you for modeling for me a work ethic and the value of living a life for others. I will never forget your poetry and songs, the fun trips we took, the camping, the hunting, the smell of a busy barbershop, or the absolute commitment you always had to my precious Mother and my brothers and me. We never went without and always knew the value of hard work and perseverance. We also learned the value of a good card game and a fun evening with friends. You had so many! We wish you nothing but peace and a life without pain. I promise to do all I can to help Scott and Matthew to take the best care of Mom that we can. We will help her to be strong. You will never be forgotten and will always be missed. The hole in my heart right now will heal with time, and I will always follow your example to continue being a good spouse, a great parent, and I can only pray I will age as well as you have. Love you Dad. Rest well. "You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7)
