Dad, it makes me sad that you have departed this earth, but It gives me comfort to know that we will meet again someday. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
I miss you and think of you everyday.
I love you,

Paul thanks for all those special memories. I remember the first time I met you when I was dating Tracy. We went for a ride in my Bronco and while riding along you reached over and turned down my stereo and promptly told me " listen here you son of a b**** if ever you hurt my daughter I will break both your legs and don't think for a second that just because I don't live here I can’t do it". I am very thankful you never had to fulfill that promise. I did learn a lot of things from you and appreciated every second that you shared with me. You always said "hang with me and I will have you known from coast to coast like buttered toast" well not sure that I ever will be but no doubt you are. Thank you for your support and tolerance and please rest easy buddy! Tell my pops hi if you cross paths. Love ya
