My dad put his family first in every way imaginable. He also had an incredible sense of humor and could brilliantly make light of things otherwise heavy so that you could get your head around the essence of it easily. When seeing mature content on TV he would say kissy, kissy and would tell you that violence on TV was basically all done with mirrors and "ketchup." I'm sure he'd never have blinked giving you his right arm if you needed it. That or a kidney and without flinching or reservation. His life was one filled with sacrifices he made happily and truly. I will never forget him at his finest moments and the love he naturally offered up to his family. - Posted by: GEORGE VOELLINGER (Son) on: Jul 20, 2022
