It was impossible to prepare our hearts for the loss of such an amazing man. You have been the best role model and husband/father we could have ever asked for. You handled your disease and final days with such strength. God truly has blessed us with so many fun memories with you. We will miss your witty sense of humor and the security of you being a phone call away. We are so thankful for you showing us how God wants us to live and serve others. The world was a better place because of you. You will be forever loved and missed by us. Love, Marilyn, Jenny and Leanne

P.S. Give Pam a hug from us.
