Dad, You dont know how much you will be missed! I can remember all the Sunday movies we went to. One that really sticks in my mind was From Here To Eternity (with Audey Murphy). That is still one of my favorites. I remember going to the South Town Theatre. It had all the swans swimming around in this huge pool of water in the lobby. I remember the Colony and the Marquette theatres, and after the show at the Colony, we used to go next store at Gerties for ice cream. They are all gone now, but the memories of those theatres will always be with me. I remember all the times we went camping. One time I went up to the Van and you were just laying back and reading your book, you always had your books with you, Villie did too! Dad , I love you and will never forget the good times. I promise to always stay close with Villie and be there for her. She really made you happy and took good care of you. I love you Dad!!!!!!
