Happy Heavenly birthday Dad! October 2 2021
You are so missed.

There are no words I can write to say how much of a good man you are, treating me as a grandson the moment we met, helping me smile and being a true role model, I will always remember the times we had, either it be me accidently spilling chilli for church in your truck and you making sure i was ok then cleaning out the truck, or the rides to church every sunday, and recently watching a Chiefs game, I miss those times and will forever cherish them.

You were such an amazing man in your lifetime. Your advice and love helped me along lifes journey. I will never understand why you passed so young. You will be so missed. Thank you for all the love you gave, never asking for anything in return.

Paul and David I was so sad to hear about your dad. He had come out to CCC right before I retired and it was so good to see him again. He had helped me a lot after I bid on operator. When I first hired in at CCC (1974) I had your dad as a supervisor and I was literally afraid of him. Not that he was mean but very stern, funny to think of now because he was one of my favorite bosses. I look at it this way, I have another angel on my side watching over me. Prayers and God bless to all the family.

The World Has Lost A Hero!

It has been an extremely rough, weary, and emotional winter. As I write the final page of a new book, my father passes into the night quietly with his family next to him in our home.

The last 8 days have been enormously painful to see a man (who has given everything to anyone who needed anything) suffer from starvation and seizures. He had Parkinson's and could no longer swallow. 

We held his hand, snuggled with him, sung to him, and told him how much he was loved every hour of every night and day. We NEVER left his side. He would have done the same for us, and MORE.

I don't know why such a great Dad should go through such a torturous death, but that's not for me to decide. It will be very tough to get those images out of my mind for the next several decades, if ever. I will struggle with why he had to go through this.

He's left an enormous hole in my heart that will take many years to heal. It'll leave a huge scar, just a reminder of of how big he was.

The good thing is that it's finally over. He is at rest and he has won the battle.
I would not be the husband, father, writer, or gardener I am today without the talks and the example my parents showed me. I dedicate this book to him. I wouldn't have written it if he hadn't passed that torch to me as a kid growing up on a one acre garden.

Goodbye faithful husband, son, brother, servant, friend, employee, and dad. Goodbye my HERO!

I hope to touch your face and hold your hand someday once again and, this time, tell you how much I REALLY love you with no-holds-barred. I'm sorry for the things I put you through, but I now know, that's just what dads do.
See you soon, Dad
