To my father who we lost to Leukemia in 1999

I am grateful for all the lessons you taught by example, rather than by dictate. You taught me how to be a man, the importance of honor, respect, honesty, work ethic, and sacrifice. As I age, I have found myself to be more and more like you. I have come to a point where I better understand what was important to you when I was growing up. The fact you were a good man, and a great father are qualities to aspire to. In that thought I strive to do just that.

We lost you way to early and it is painfully unfair. There has been so much good that has occurred since your passing, and I am all too happy to report. It would have been grande to have you here to share it with.

Happy father’s day
