Today would have been Dad's 86th birthday - spending the day thinking about him and his huge positive impact on our family - missing you Dad! - jeff
Thinking of and missing our dad & grandpa today. Sad you didn’t get to be here on your 86th Birthday. You truly were a special man! All our love...Lisa and Brycen ??
Remembering Dad - he was such a kind man - as a kid, I only focused on punishments (which were caused by my own acts of course!), but looking back, I could not have asked for a kinder, smarter parent to prepare me for a successful life - looking back - he checked all the boxes as a great parent.
