My dearest father, I will miss you dearly. Words cannot express my sadness in your passing. You have been such a wonderful grandpa and my heart aches for you and our loved ones. You have spent so much time teaching the grandkids about your life and how to live it. We will miss you dearly.
Love, your daughter
Dad, words cannot express the sadness and complete loss I am feeling right now! I not only lost my daddy I lost my best friend. You were a great teacher in my life. I could always count on you when I needed the right answers in life! I have many fond memories with you. Many include you teaching me the outdoors. One that I recall alot and tell people is when I was around 9 or so you asked me to accompany you hunting, which was a daily occurence on the weekends and I can still see your face when I said I wanted to stay home because mom was baking cookies and I knew I would get to clean the bowl of cookie dough out…. so you said fine and went alone. Now I still wish I went with you!!! I know you’re also very proud of me for my hardest accomplishment of getting sober !!! You will forever be missed. I love you daddy.
