My dad was an amazing father.He worked very hard to support his family. My wish was always to have my dad home when he was on the road. He loved his family more than anything in the world. He had a rough start to life but in the end he had a family who loved and adored him with 8 grandchildren who thought the world of him. He is truly missed every day. There is not a day that I don't wish I could pick up the phone to hear his voice. My heart feels like it has been ripped apart with losing you. I wish to see him in my dreams every night. Just to hear his voice and hope for a hug. I will miss you and love you until we meet again DADDY. - Posted by: Anita (Daughter) on: Jan 07, 2012
