My father was one of a kind and larger than life itself. He was a traveler of the world. He’s never met a stranger and loved being with good people and having a beer. He was an avid reader and loved hitch hiking. He often spoke of his hitch hiking adventures with stories that were often hard to believe. But every single one of them were true. He loved his children and grand children with all he had. He once gave me an empty box for Christmas with only a note inside. “What’s in this box is all you will ever need to find the perfect guy. “ He was stubborn as all hell and had the will to match it. His passing has left a huge hole in my heart. Daddy I love you and you are so missed.
