We talked with you while you were at work shortly after the DECEMBER WINDSTORM at the high school. It seems only a couple of months ago that you indicated you were doing fine. Suddenly without any warning, we are shocked to hear that you passed away. You are in a better place with peace; no more pain and suffering. Rest in peace.
“Daddy!” Every day I cry a tear For the man who’s no longer here. I hope and I pray Maybe I’ll see him someday. I know he’s in some wonderful place Far far above in outer space. Even though we don’t always hear it I know he’s always here in spirit. I am sorry for the ones that never had A father as wondeful as my Dad. His kids grandkids and his wife Are the loves of his life. We may not think we can go on But Daddy’s love will make us strong. WE LOVE && MISS YOU DAD GRANDPA!! rest in LOVE!
