He was a great, great man. A caring loving family man. You could tell how much he cared just by his demeanor. He would do anything he could for you if he thought it would help you. A shining light has left this world to shine ever brightly in heaven.

I can still here his voice, see the sly twinkling smile when he was teasing or pulling A prank. Chewed us out, treated us as adults and always listened. He was another Dad, always a call away, solving problems and riding to our rescue, all with great humor and love. I know how much of a loss this is for your family and those of us he treated like family. Biggest of hugs to you all.

The memories came flooding back this week along with some tears. I can't think of a time where he ever said No to driving us to the skating rink. He was a bonus dad and had no problem setting me straight when I needed it. There are too many memories to mention. I know he will be greatly missed but I have no doubt Karen was waiting for him and they are reunited again. Sending you all hugs and prayers.
