I got to know ul some time in 1972 he was a great friend an brother inlaw he was a good dad an husband sure do miss him love you bro

I loved my daddy. He was the best. He was also the greatest popaw in the world. Not only was he there for me whenever I needed him, but he would bend over backwards for anybody that was in need. Love you dad and you will always be in my heart and all the others that you touched while you was here on earth....

Well what can a son say about a father that gave his health and his life for his kids and his wife. I guess I should be thankful for the time I got to spend with him and believe me I am. But my time with him should have been longer and I should have been old and gray myself when I wrote this. Not a day goes by that I dont tell my daughters or Loretta some funny story or words of wisdom I had heard from him. People say that in time it gets easier, well I can say thats not true. I catch myself talking to dad when Im driving down the road alone, and still see him in my dreams. I guess as long as he's in our hearts he is truely never gone, and I for one will hold him in my heart till I take my last breath on this earth and we will dance together when we are reunited dad. Me the girls and Loretta all miss and love you more than u know!!!! Love u always!!!!!!
