May you be pain free in the heavens. You have left behind a nice daughter, Christine, for now. You will meet again.

Every now and then I look at my phone and get ready to push the speed dial number to call you, not realizing you wont be there to pick up. All the times we talked over the phone after I moved here to Seattle, sure made my day. Singing songs was sure your favorite and we would spend time singing to each other our own. Just so you know your grandkids are doing fine and I will do my best to raise them and be a good provider as you have showed me. Love you and I know you will be looking out after all of us. To my BigBear family you are always in our prayers...your son/brother
