Sorry it has taken me this long to thank everyone for there thoughts and prayers. I ask for children young and old to enjoy every moment with your parents good or bad. To get to know them as a person. If you don’t have a good relationship with them work on it. If you live far away from them call them a least once a week. Cause when they are gone their gone there is nothing harder than not having that shoulder to lean on or the advise that you need from them. I loved my dad more than anything got to now him as a person and as a friend. He was my hero and my guide threw life. When he spoke I listened when gave advise I followed threw and did it. He may not of took the credit but he is the reason I am the father, the husband ,the son ,bother and the man I am today. Thank you dad I love you and will miss you and thanks to all of you wonderful people for your stories and memories of a great man he will be missed.
