Under all that gruffness lay one of the nicest and sweetest men I have ever met. To me no matter how tough of a front he would put up he was just never good enough of an actor for me to believe that he was really nothing but a pussycat. His smile and laugh were infectious. He was a son of a bitch if were on the wrong side but an angel otherwise and im gonna miss that son of a bitch! Kudos!

Dad…… I miss you….. I wanted more time with you….I promised to go camping with you…..We moved back to California to be closer to you….. I’m sorry we did not have more time with you ……It hurt so much to say goodbye to you…….When you said let me go, it was like someone standing on my chest…… I looked at you and held your hand and I knew it was time…… No more pain, no more sorrow, your are free,…. Where ever you are, I hope you have peace, and know that I love you so much…..We love you so much….. Thank you for everything that I have.

Your Son Ken
