I am so honored to have been able to get to know you. I love you and miss you. I know you are up there with the rest of our family members. I know you were tired at the end and had to go home. I know that when ever I get time to see the race you will be there with me. I love and miss you. Remember you are normal???? lol!

For those that have and will post condolences on behalf of my father and his family, I thank you and may GOD bless you. My father was faced with the daily trials, tribulations and struggles none of us are foreign to. I am proud and blessed to announce for those of you that did not know, my dad was a GOD fearing man and practiced his walk multiple times daily and prayed for his family multiple times daily. I can only wish for this form of discipline in my walk with GOD. I am peaceful in knowing my dad has been cloaked with his heavenly form, no longer has pain (emotionally nor physically) and is at the side of his maker. I would be honored to meet or talk to anyone who was a close friend or extended family to my father as I have been away for many years residing in San Diego. I will be visiting my place of birth and his final resting place Des Moines IA soon and hope for the opportunity to meet some of you. GOD BLESS YOU and if you might, please pray for us as we are all struggling in different ways with his passing.
Dad, I am proud of the man you became throughout your life. I am at peace and blessed to know you were obedient with GOD and will never forget how proud you were of me when I gave my heart and soul to our LORD. RIP dad, we will unite again some day.
