Dad, What an admirable man you were! Your intelligence, outstanding integrity, creativity, resourcefulness, thoughtfulness, faithfulness and commitment to God, family and country were unsurpassed. You were very strict and in being so you instilled your great values in your children which have served us well and for which we'll always be grateful. There are no words to describe the awe and respect we have for you. We appreciated that you were always there for us to show your love and concern, to answer our questions and give us your advice. Dad, you were our hero. We shall miss you terribly and shall always remember your warmth, good cheer and humor. You helped make the "Greatest Generation" great. We were separated by many miles, you were there to answer our questions and give us advice. When you visited us in San Diego, we welcomed your good cheer, humor and warmth. We will always love you and treasure you in our hearts.
