My condolences to the family.
I am going to miss you so much. I know I never called you Dad. I always said I already have a dad – but you were every bit a daddy to me and never let my teenage hormonal confusion make you feel any different. You taught me most everything I know in life – How to tie a shoe all the way to cook a pot of dirty rice. You taught me to work hard and stay a good , moral person ..You appeared to everyone else so grouchy but I knew how to get you smiling with just one start of a debate between you and I. We sure loved going back and forth at each other didnt we. I am so happy you got to spend the last part of your life right where you wanted to be – Home. Thank you for being a father to me …A father in law to my husband and the best Granddaddy ever to my child. Till we meet again.
I am deeply sorry for your alls loss. From what I just read he was an awesome and honorable man .
He loved and was loved.
May he rest on the loving arms of our savior, Jesus Christ.
My prayers are with you all.
