DAD
“DAD”
I have written this through tears rolling down my face and a lump in my throat. I am still not sure if I will be the one to read this out loud yet.
“DAD” was always “DAD” to me. You were always someone I admired. Someone I took for granted would be around a lot longer. Never taking into consideration that life is a cycle just as a person is born someone also dies. I still have not gotten used to you being gone and words can not adequately express the way I feel. So bear with me.
“DAD” when I think about you the first thing that comes to mind is what a great Father & even a greater Grandfather/Great Grandfather you were.
Growing up I never had to worry or even think about anything other then being a kid and having fun. Looking back, I know I was not the easiest child to raise, we often butted heads, and I inherited your stubbornness .But in the end I Always new that you loved me.
Over the year’s you shared your knowledge and wisdom. You loved history, reading and later politics, (which you loved to debate about for hours). You rarely missed a day without watching Fox News. I wish you could have seen the song on you~tube “The Girls on Fox News” by Austin Cunningham, you would have laughed until you cried! .You were not perfect but you were to me. You were the most reliable, honest and dependable man I know. You were a man of strong principles, traditional, conventional and yet very private. Your family meant everything to you. You were very particular about how things were to be done right down to drinking your scotch out of a glass tumbler. Your cars were always immaculate as was the garage you parked them. If I had used a tool and I put it back exactly the way you left them some how you always knew I had been in them. You worked hard so hard and provided well for all of us this I am so grateful.
”DAD” you are and always will be my Hero & I love and miss you so very much.
