From his loving children to their dad, “With love and thanks for having such a special dad, someone who cared deeply who was always there when we needed him, always a father and a best friend, someone to laugh with, to share things with, someone you can count on to help you out, back you up, and never let you down, someone whose guidance was valued and appreciated. We will always have his precious memories to hold and to cherish forever. Love Deborah, Darlene and Darren”.
