From the time I was born, I guess you would know, Ten Perfect fingers Ten little toes. When you first put your finger in my tiny hand, that's when I first knew, you are my dad. As I grow older and reach the sky, my dad is still there to keep that twinkle in my eye. When I need someone to hold me tight you never say I'm too big. You pick me up and squeeze me in whisper, you're my little kid. I know dad is looking down right now on this and us, and I truly believe he knows just how loved he really was. Our father would have loved all this attention. What can I say about the world's greatest dad? My father was honorable, he was kind, he was more than fair, he was gentle and he was so loving and giving. He cared with a passion like anything that I have ever seen. To me, when times were tough, he told me on a daily basis to keep Steppin. He worked hard at everything he put his hands on and created Magic. He touched so many. My father was an incredible man! He loved life and he loved all of us. I know we all have heard this before and I hadn't really realized it until now, that life is a lot shorter than any of us realize and you just don't know what you have until it's gone. When he told stories he captivated the room. My father was simply the greatest man I ever knew. He was an incredible husband, incredible father to us kids, grandfather and great-grandfather, an incredible leader and Boy Scouts and friend. He taught me so, so many lessons in life. I never stop moving and try to stay busy because of him. My greatest memories of my father was, he gave me life and when my dad and my son walk me down the aisle for my wedding. Both of our dreams came true!! I love you so much Dad and I miss you dearly. You are and forever will be my hero, my rock, my inspiration and my best friend. I will miss your funny jokes and you're strong, deep voice to give me words of wisdom and advice. But most importantly oh, I will miss you! You are no longer in pain and God loves you and now you're home. I will see you again someday. You will be forever missed! I love you forever and a day, DAD!
