Thank you for being the best father-in-law I could have ever asked for. You helped raise my favorite person in the world and made him into a great man. I am going to miss all of our talks about food. And I agree with you that Whataburger definitely beats In-and-Out!! Rest well until we all meet again then I will bring the cheesecake and banana pudding.

Dad, you were one of the best men i've ever known and i feel fortunate that i got the chance to ever have you in my life. The world would be a great place if there were more men like you. You made a huge impact on all those who came to know you. One of the most gentle, kind hearted, genuine human beings i ever had the pleasure of meeting. You and mama Stella were my second parents and i'll forever hold you and your family as my own blood. I became best friend with your son Kevin over 30 years ago and it's no wonder i came to love him so much, because when i look at him i see you. Kev, Christy, Katie, Kadence, and Kaleb are all representative of wonderful parents and grandparents that you and mom made. Thank you for being a big part of my life and always treating me and my family with such respect. I love you always. See you on the other side with our creator and our savior.
