Tomorrow marks a year of your passing life is so hard without you, I wish I could speak to you it's hard seeing nana, carlie and mom sad. I know you wouldnt want us to be sad. I know it's not a goodbye but a see ya later, but that's far away right? I'm sorry for not being there for you when I needed to be it was hard on me. But I'll always love you even though you're not here with us and I'll never forget you.

Would like to thank everyone for all the kind words. Dad was one of a kind. There arent many like him left in this world. He was good but he was also one who proved that to succeed you must do for yourself. He overcame many obstacles and was a wonderful provider and father. Boy did he have good stories as well as the only person I have seen to wear short in the dead of winter. To remember Dad is to have a smile on your face.
