Not a day goes by without missing you, Pops: your unconditional love, your guidance and strength, your uplifting voice and wonderful laugh and personality, your great sense of humor, smart advice, and helpful support, your inimitable—often hilarious—take on life, your thoughtfulness and positive outlook, the way you always listened, raised my spirits, cheered me on, and encouraged me to be a better person. Through all the ups and downs we shared in this life, you were always there for me, without fail. Thank you, for all of it, for everything you gave me and did for me, for being a splendid father. Rest in peace, my dearest, handsomest Dad, my truest ally, most-trusted confidant, and greatest friend. Love you always and forever, your fortunate daughter.
