Dad, you did so much for all of us. Thanks for always being there when I needed you. I know you worried about how we would all get by when you had to move on and so did I. We're all gonna be OK, Dad and it's because of you. Say "hello" to all of our grandparents, friends and relatives that are up there waiting for you. The weather is going to be perfect all the time now, Dad -- get on your Harley and ride as fast as you want. Everything is gonna be alright. I love you and I will see you later, Dad. Bill
