I have so many memories that I will carry with me forever. Starting back to when I was just a kid. I loved spending time with him and being glued to his hip. I would go with him to every softball game he played or just hung out with him outside for hours. If it wasn't for him being so supportive and taking care of my oldest while I finished high school I don't know where I would be today. As I got older and started having kids of my own that didn't stop him. He always made sure he was at every softball, football, and baseball game or practice he could be at. He has also encouraged me to follow my dreams in life and always pushed for me to be a better person. He always gave good advice whether I took it or not and always supported the decisions I had made. The love he had for his grandchildren and great grandkids will be what I miss the most. They made him smile and laugh everytime. I will miss the endless hours on the phone with him just talking about life. He has scarficed so much in his life for his kids and grandkids which is truly a blessing. I love you dad and truly hope you are smiling above and looking over everyone. You will be missed so much.
