Daddy was an awesome father, grandfather, and sibling. He called his siblings and granddaughters every day and would call and give everyone the daily update on everybody’s whereabouts. He never forgot their birthdays and was there any time we needed him. Daddy, we celebrate you and the life you lived. You are not here physically, but you will always live in our hearts.
