Dad used to take all of us girls camping for a week every summer. I used to love to hear him tell stories about these trips. One of my favorites was when dad was fishing from the boat just off shore and I was fishing from the shore and caught a fish, after I reeled it in it came off the hook and I was beating it with my pole trying to keep it from going into the water, dad was laughing sooooo hard, I can still hear him!! He got a reallly good laugh everytime he told this story. I have so many great memories of him, he was so full of joy and laughter. :-)

I will never forget you and your unconditional love that you have given to all . Until we meet again , I love you and will miss you very very much .

You loved having your family around you, this was one of the many holidays we spent together. This world will not be the same without you Dad, I love you and miss you.
