This is the story of my father.There will never be another man like our dad. He always went out of his way to make sure we were always ok. When we were younger, I remember he always made us stay busy with extra curricular activities,"such as, ballet, swimming,iceskating,and etc." Dad was big on stories, everytime we had company, he would tell a story. I remember most of them would be scary. In the summer, he would take our friends and us to Great America. He was always like a kid himself. I remember he would take us on his jobs as we got older. He called us "his little helpers". The one that stuck in his footsteps was his only son James, dad taught him everything he knew. Dad accomplished alot in his 58 years. Not only was he loving, and compassionate, but understanding as well. He taught us different aspects of life. He taught his son James how to be a great carpet installer,to support his family. His daughter Michelle, he taught her to accept the tasks that lay in the road in her life. For me, his oldest daughter Janet, he taught me to have the confidence to accomplish my dreams. Not only is he a loving father,but an extrodinary grandfather as well, out of all 8 grandchildren he loved, Sheena, Howie, lil Archie, Heather, Stephanie, Jack, Samantha, and Megan with all his heart. He'll live in each one of us from sunrise to sunset each and everyday. He was loved by many people, he was an excellent father and grandfather, but most of all an excellent husband to his wife Manzella. He will be missed each and everyday. May god bless him.
