He was my father. He married the greatest woman I have ever known (my mother, of course) in 1954. In 16 years they had 9 children. He work hard as a truck driver and provided us with the necessary things to get us through our lives. He was a good man, yet hard. He wanted the best for each of us. He adored my mother. He was the glue that held us together. There wasn’t a problem he couldn’t solve. Then if he couldn’t? He would make it work somehow! He was a man with pride to see his children succeed. He built character in each of us. These were just some of him amazing traits. We lost him way too early. I miss him dearly. He was my father, friend, mentor, teacher and most importantly he was my reason that I am who I am today. Happy 90th birthday Dad. I will see you again someday.
