Dad, I miss you so very much. I miss your calm, kind, loving, and steady demeanour, your wise and gentle mannerisms, your outstanding role-modelling abilities, and wonderful parenting (and grandparenting) techniques, your balanced lifestyle and healthy living, and your deep love and devotion for your wife and family.
You sought happiness and joy in life always, as often as possible, in every minute of each precious day. Throughout my childhood and adult life, you taught me (and everyone else in your presence) to enjoy life more and to worry less. You had a peacefulness about you and your jokes were hilarious and very animated.
A chat with you was like feeling a gentle breeze, gently easing away any concerns; instead of worries, offering up an opportunity to envelop sunshine moments and positivity into the heart and soul. You were a man of few words; when you spoke, you were insightful and your messages were well-thought through, so I knew that listening fully and deeply was wise.
Dad, you were our Family Rock, the strength of our family - and you will always be exactly that. You are a part of each and every one of us. We will "love you forever and like you for always" and keep you close to us eternally in our hearts and memories forever. Love Linda
