I wish I could put into words with on how much my Dad influenced the life of his kids and many of those that were lucky enough to know him. My brother Jeremy said it best via his Facebook post while we were at the hospital with him. He wrote...
  
He wasn't your typical dad....he didn't teach me how to throw a baseball or how to hunt. He didn't know anything about cars . He didn't follow sports or any other "manly" things. What he did know how to do was love. He taught me ..."family comes first." He showed me.... what hard work looks like. He gave me....my humor, my mannerism's, my innate ability to bullshit, my quick temper and best of all an ability to forgive immediately after an argument and laugh about it. Dad your in everything I am..........

This is such a true statement. Over the years I have heard many times, "You sounded (or looked) just your Dad when you said/did that". I'll always be proud of that, good or bad.
