I am a 49 year old husband and father of two young men. I lost my father on Saturday 5/14/2022. He was a good father and friend. He taught me everything I will ever need to know about while I am on this earth, and he prepared me for life and the constant curve balls life will throw at you. I want to be sad, but it is hard for me to be sad for someone that lived life on their terms, as well as someone who touched so many people in such a profound and positive way. My father lived his life on his terms, and he died in God's time, but still on his terms. I never said it enough. I love you dad. This is to God. You might know all, but I just want you to know, that you have got your hands full with my dad. To my father I say. I love you, you will be missed, and give them all hell and a great laugh in heaven, while you wait for the rest of us to arrive. Much love to all of those who have ever suffered a loss of someone close.
