We say goodbye to our Dad, he was always a loyal and steady father and husband. His sense of humor was always there, and he was the best grandfather you could ever want. All the grandchildren have so many memories of how they always felt cared for and loved, and of course my dad’s corny grandpa sense of humor. We will miss him. We said goodbye to our mother 13 years ago, and now we say goodbye to dad. We all love you, miss you, and will always remember you. Rest in peace dad.
