A special Dad is hard to find,
You Dad I’m keeping in my mind,
I wished you could have stayed forever,
But I will never forget you, oh not ever.

 If dreams weren’t dreams or dreams came true,
I could visit you now and be with you,
Distance is one thing that keeps us apart,
But Dad you will forever be in my heart.

 A special smile, a special face, a special someone
I can’t replace,
I love you and always will,
You filled a space that no one will ever replace.

For those of you that know Gary, will know that he has always suffered with his eye sight... At a family gathering, at the buffet table, he grabbed a napkin from the table and wiped his mouth with it and he said 'this napkin is a bit thick' ... He was only wiping his face with a tortilla wrap.  As always though he took it in good spirits and we had a good laugh about it, and he just replied with 'well there's nothing wrong with my eyes!'  That was just the ole man to a 'T' though, he had his sense of humor right till the end.
