Dad,
You instilled many values that I try to adhere to. You are missed, loved, and Your Memory and Presence is with all of those whose lives you touched. You'd have been amazed at the outpouring of support and number of folks who attended your funeral. Also, your humble nature could not comprehend the number of Lives that you positively impacted, proof of which shows up daily in the mail and or email.
I am grateful to have had the chance to bond with you over the past few years, and grieve not only the loss of "Pops", but also the death of a close and respected Friend.
Your Memory shall live on in perpetuity, and I know You'll continue to "have my back", as always. Rest in Peace, Dad. Your daily presence is missed, but the pain will ultimately be quashed by the Fond Memories of Your Long, Successful,and Loving 84.5 years....
Again, I love and miss You- for the rest of my days in this lifetime~
Dave O.
