I will miss you so much dad. We shared a lot of good times! I always enjoyed fishing, golf, going to country music shows and watching you enjoy your model car hobby. I had a blast riding in our pick up truck when you would pick up the boys for the baseball team when I was a little girl. Your love of baseball as the baseball league coach,pushed me to play girls softball and being at the baseball park to watch my brother Gary pitch were some of the best memories!We as family weathered many storms but managed to pull through. Thanks for your wisdom and humor. See you again someday dad. Love you Deets!
