I can’t believe you are 70 years old. You have been gone over 6 years and 7 months. I miss you so much. My heart still has a Hugh hole and aches so much. Lately I find myself missing you so much more. Growing old without you sucks so bad. I cry more now then ever. Happy heavenly birthday. I’ll love you forever.

Today is your 68th birthday. Can’t believe it’s been 4 years 3 months and 18 days since you left us. Somehow it seems like yesterday but then it seems like forever. You would be so proud of your grandkids. They are all growing up so fast. They are wonderful and I am so blessed to have them. I know they miss you. You would be so proud of them like I am. We all love and miss you. Until we can be together again, you are forever in our hearts. ❤️

Well 4 years and 1 day ago we sat in the kitchen laughing and joking about old times. You were telling me that I needed to move to Lincoln and well you got your wish, I don’t stop by and see you often enough but know this, I think about you often, wish you were around to go fishing, hunting and have some breakfast. You would be so proud of the kids, Ethan gets married soon and Madelin is doing so well (you’re hung up all over her dorm room). Steph is doing great and you’d love the new dog! Have a great day today and remember how much we love you and miss you!

Can’t believe it’s been 4 years. My emotions are still so strong. I am trying to fill the hole in my heart with love and gratitude for all the blessings that God has given me. Our kids and grandkids are the best blessings in my life. Working also helps me keep busy. I have good days and not so good ones. Not having you to come home to or do things with is the hardest. We only get one life and we shouldn’t take it for granted. We need to live and love like it’s our last day. Praise be Jesus my Lord and Savior. Until we meet again I’ll forever love and miss you. ❤️

On the 4th anniversary of your heavenly debut,
we have a new family member named after you.
Ryker’s our blessing and brings us great joy.
He is such a sweet and special little boy.
Although you aren’t here to hold him and see him grow,
We will make sure to tell him, his Grampy loves him so.

We love and miss you Dad/Grampy!
