Steven and Michael and family:
I will never forget the times I spent with your Dad. As I had the opportunity to tell him as I became a man, he never knew the impact that spending the time to take me with him in my younger years meant.
Your Dad always had and will have a special place in my heart as will you guys! I am sorry to hear of his passing, but oh so glad he has gained his heavenly wings!
