Rob Casagrande
He was my Father, my Friend and my Hero. No matter what we needed he got
even though he worked countless hours to do it. You don't realize until its to late how much more I could have thanked him for all he did for us. I think he always just knew becuase if you tried he never wanted to hear it, he would just smile give you a hug and a kiss and tell you he loved you. So for the last time Thank You Dad for all you did and all you taught me to do. And when its my time and I see you in heaven you owe me a big smile, a big hug and a big kiss. I Miss You and Love You
