There are never enough words to tell the world about my dad. He never met a stranger, and he was kind, giving, and humble to a fault. A proud American, the epitome of true gentleman, and the best Dad, Pop, husband, brother, uncle, and son anyone could ever wish for. I always knew he was special, but never had a clue the size of the hole losing him would leave not just in our family, but in the lives of everyone he had touched. I always say my world lost some of its sparkle when he left and I still miss him every day.
His words of wisdom and the way he lived his life continue to drive and shape me and always will.
