Dad, I am going to miss you very much. You were always there when we needed you or when we called on the phone just to talk and it is going to be hard knowing that I cannot call you just to talk. You were the best. I have always loved you and I know the men is this family do not say that often enough. I am glad I was with you to the end and I know you heard me say I loved you when yours eyes opened. You were always there cooking these big meals with mom and you were always the one cleaning and washing the dishes after every meal and I think my biggest fear is know I am going to get stuck washing dishes know since you handed it down LOL. You are going to be greatly missed by Carla, Chris, Gina and myself. Thank you for being how you were. I would not ever changed a thing about you. Rest in Peace.
