Dad was truly an amazing person. He probably was the quietist person in the house, but his presence was strong. He was always there. Dad was always willing to offer a helping hand, I don't ever remember him turning anyone down when they needed help and he always got the job done, he seemed tireless. He was a strong man in heart, body and soul. I don't ever remember him saying a bad thing about anyone. He always found the good in everyone. Dad was also a great story teller, he would always tell stories about his childhood and they were always the positive stories about his childhood, about riding his bike all over town and how he was always crashing, but he always managed to walk away, and the story about the cat in the mailbox, us kids loved that story. Dad didn't talk to much about the negative things, just like in people, he always tried to find and focus on the positive things in his own life as well. I am very thankful that he was my dad and the grandfather to my children, he was always a positive role model to us all. He was someone that we could all look up to and I hope that we can all aspire to be more like. What a wonderful example he was, of a loving, gentle, kind hearted person. He will be truly missed but I know that if heaven could be an even happier place then it already is, then Dad brought a whole bunch more happiness there. Love you Dad, You will never be forgotten, until we meet again, Love always, your daughter, Mary
