Dad, you cheated death so many times in your life. I always thought God had a special plan for you. Now I think His plan all along was for you to be there for us as our father. We love you and miss you, but will always carry with us your values and great memories. God speed,
Jacque.
Dad, you will be deeply missed because of your many talents, skills, and your extremely helpful and inventive nature. I will miss your wonderfully wry and corny sense of humor which can never be replaced. Fly free on your own wings, you've earned them. Love you Dad, you're our hero!
Cheryl.
