All of us miss Dad, it’s hard on the days that I’m at a loss and need Dad’s advice and wisdom. His example as a father, provider and husband should be followed by every man. We love and miss you both Mom and Dad.
Dad, you took me, Mom and Kaye under your wing. You raised us as your own and taught us how to be responsible and productive members of society. My 25 year Air Force career and my family are a direct result of your upbringing of us and the examples you set for me as a man, husband, father and serviceman. I will miss you always.
