If you were even more fortunate to have “Dad” or “Daddy” as your father then you knew you had a rock as solid as they come. A best friend, a leader, a teacher, and a mentor. A dad you know would be there for you through the toughest times. A Dad who lived his life not for himself, but lived entirely and tirelessly for his kids and grandkids. He was the heart, strength and core of our family. As a Papa to his 5 beloved grandchildren, he had no greater joy. Papa loved being Papa. He was the best and most generous Papa you could ever ask for or know. Dad, you will be in our hearts forever, you are loved and missed so much. Until we meet again. We know you’re watching over us.
