Dad,
Word can’t express the sadness I am feeling right now. At least I know you are in a better place now and truly a “free spirit”. I love you Dad and will miss you dearly. My hope is that you are now with Grampa, Nana, uncle Jim, uncle Don, uncle Spike and uncle Donnie riding motorcycles, watching NASCAR, and listening to country music. RIP
Christopher
