Dad you were always there to help me thru everything. I soo need you now, my heart is heavy and mind troubled. Help daddy.....

To a man with a strong personality, a sincere love of family and providing me with inspiration to become the best man I could ever be. Who's insight of the world and how the working man can make a difference was an example that I have never forgotten. Thank God for his legacy!

I remeber I was suppose to come to chicago and see how your dad was doing. And I called and called no answer. Finally talking to Tellis and he told me that was the time he had passed away. I was floored,I was to late to say hello and Good-bye. What a great father he was to you.

Dad i know your in a better place, but I just want you to know that i love you and miss you everyday. there is so much that I want to tell you and share with you. I know you are looking down on me with a smile on your face and say "GET ER DONE JOHNNY RED" I love you and will see you again one day so i can hug you and tell you how much I love you.
