    Dad, I Thank You so much for the character and integrity that you taught me, and instilled upon me. Many times and many places we have been together, this I hope is the best for you now, a better place a better time.
    And as always corn was knee high high by July. Love you Dad

    I’m so sad that I’ll never hear that jolly chuckle of yours again. You kept it through the pain up until the end. God didn’t give that gift to all of us, I think He kept it for special people, like you. Knowing you, I bet the moment you entered Heaven, you yelled out a big “OH BOY!” I’m happy you are free of all the things that were challenging you in this life. I may not have known you for long but we were good buddies and we shared a lot of things. You watch for me, I’ll be joining you someday. You will always be missed and loved.

    Grandpa, Vanessa and I both enjoyed spending the last six months with you here in Indiana. Even though you hated the cold weather Vanessa and I loved that you were only an hour drive away. We enjoyed coming to see you to catch up on old times and to bring you your favorite Mexican dinners and frosty milkshakes. We are two lucky grandchildren to have such a special grandpa that you are! You are greatly missed and we love you! LOVE, Megan and Vanessa
