It was always a pleasure to see your dad. He was always smiling and had a great sense of humor. He was a joy to be around. And always had a wonderful way of expressing himself to everyone. You will always have his memories to cherish.

Dear Debbie and Judy,
You had a wonderful Dad. I loved him before you knew him. He used to babysit us. What I remember most about that was his peanut butter and onion sandwiches! He and your mom were so kind to me, especially during my teen years. I had long visits during the summers.
Most importantly he and your Mom prayed for me. I admired his faith, his beautiful voice and his sense of humor. I love him so much.
Praying for you during this difficult time. I’ll see you soon.
Lynne
