This is my Dad. I can not begin to tell you the amazing father he has always been. He is the guy that put cardboard in his shoes that had holes in the soles so we could stay that extra day on vacation. He is the guy that picked me up at 2am from work cause I was afraid to drive home in the snow. He is the one constant unending unconditional love that has supported my brother John, my sister Susan, and my own decisions (no matter what they were) our whole lives. He walked us down the aisle at our weddings, was there when we had children, lost husbands, and when life dealt us our fair share of troubles. With a sense of humor beyond compare, he gave us countless memories of laughter. The three of us all agree that he "walks on water". He is the absolute best. The sadness we feel over losing Dad is so so hard. But in the end he was suffering and is now at peace. We are fortunate to hurt so much...that is because of what a wonderful father we were blessed with! I love you Dad!!
