To my Dad & friend, I was so proud to have you as my Dad. You made your family and friends happy to be around you and share in your love of life. You were a good provider and always found a way to give us what we needed. As my friend I have especially enjoyed the last few years with you. We would go to doctor appointments together and always found time to stop for lunch. The only questions were 'where we should go' and 'who was buying'. It was my pleasure to be there for you and give just a little bit back of all you have given me. I am at peace knowing how you left this earth and that you are with our Father in heaven and with Mom. Give her my love, until we meet again.....love you, Gail
