    He was the best father, not just to me but all of his 10 children. You couldn’t find a better, loving, supportive, father, teacher, and best friend. He would help and take anyone in that needed help. Not everyone got to see sensitive side, because of his tough exterior, but when he did you knew it was coming from the deepest place in his heart. It was honor to have you as my dad, you showed me love and support for 37 years and they are years I will forever cherish and memories to last a lifetime! Thank you for showing me what a real man is suppose to be. I love you and I miss you daddy, but I know you are with me because I feel and see, and spend time with you all the time. It was an honor to help care for you, and to be there in the end, it was beautiful just like the life you lived. I will always carry you with me in my heart and soul ♥️
