Dad, Grandpa and Great-papa… we will miss you. Thank you for the lessons and the memories…. hug people and kiss them on the cheek, treasures are often found, yard work, the lake, the cart, the duck, follow safety rules, you can’t have too many tools, save money where you can, invest, proper maintenance is important, have a good time, get together with friends, stay busy, paintbrushes last forever, wear red, get up early, build stuff, watch football on TV, bring your wife coffee in the morning, combine errands, work hard, take time to play, travel, grand and great-grand-children are a blessing, enjoy a cold beer, drive a nice car, and always take care of the people in your life. We love you.
