Dad

He built his life around his family a loving wife of 65 years and his four children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Dad, often told everyone about when I was a kid and I came home from school and told him that the teacher "smelled" at me today, he would always chuckle and explained that I meant to say "smiled at me today". Dad never got tired of telling that story. It's still funny even all these years later. Dad, although he isn't with us physically anymore, he’s here...in fond memories during all stages of my life, and I will forever miss him I love you dad.
