My Dad

My Dad passed away on Wed night… Here is what i have wrote on his Facebook page and to be read at the services next week…

My Dad was a very great and caring man and anyone that knew him knows that without me having to tell them why. Everybody that knows him has some kind of story or experience about him and/or with him.Where ever he went he would run into someone he knew and always took the time to visit.
I could sit here and talk about him forever with all the memories i have had but i’m afraid it would blow "The Facebook"(as he called it) up and no one would be able to see this post.
My Dad was my best friend and teacher and i wish i could remember everything that he ever taught me or tried to teach me.He did anything and everything that was ever asked of him or wasn’t asked because he knew it needed to be done for his family and friends.He never showed weakness and was the rock everyone needed. There will be a very big void in our family from here on out that will never be filled but will also never be forgotten.
I know i will never come close to filling his shoes but i do hope i can be at least half the man that he was.
He would always put a smile on my face no matter what the circumstances and his last words to me was no exception.When i had all of his personal belongings and they were wheeling him out to the ambulance he stopped them and looked at me and said with a smile on his face……….

" I know exactly how much money is in my wallet"
