I miss you dad
Lora, We are deeply saddened by the loss that you and your family have encountered. Our hearts go out to you during this trying time and may our prayers serve as comfort to you and your loved ones. Ryan & Kim
going to really miss you brother you always lead me in the right direction of life.
I remember all of dads rules: no laughing in the back seat, only 1 person allowed to crack a window to smoke at a time, only NPR allowed on the radio, cannot drive more than 20 mph down his road (just to name a few). Dad was the Sheriff in town.
Yes, he was always the one I turned to for advice.
My heart is so broken. When people asked how long we had been married, my answer was “all my life” because it seems like you’ve been in my life forever. It’s hard to imagine my life without you. I will miss you for the rest of my days.
Last time we’re all together at Naples Florida, we’re going to miss you! Hugs to all our family ❤️
