My Dad, I am proud to call you My Dad. You were the best father and role model I could have. You instilled in me a work ethic and how important it is to Love and Cherish family. I'm a lot like you. My personality. my humor, my demeanor and my looks.When I see photos of you I can't help but think how much I am like you. I loved the time we spent fishing, sometimes not catching anything, stopping at a roadside stand to take fish home to show mom. I bet she know we didn't catch them. You and Mom had a beautiful life together and a wonderful home in Port Republic. It makes me smile when I think about how you would tinker with that damn boat until the time you sold it. I loved how our family would gather almost every Saturday at your house to enjoy each others company, swimming in the pool and eating crabs. You lived a long productive life and touched a lot of people. I am ready to accept that you won't be with us, but I know you are in a better place along side Mom and Jeannette and all the other loved ones lost over the years. May you all rest in peace.
Love you and miss you Dad
Love Always, Robert
