SIMPLE - STRONG - SELFLESS

These three words sum up our father's life.
He never had a lot of money; but always had enough to give to others. He worked hard for what he could afford and was satisfied with what he had. He had a heart of gold and strength unmatched by many several years his junior. He was always just a phone call away to lend a hand to those who needed something repaired, relocated, or removed!!!
His family and friends were important to him, never missing an opportunity to enjoy eating anything from Perkins to pizza, or traveling from the old section lines to the busiest freeways to spend time with them. You know those that have passed on before him are welcoming him home with open arms and as he is entering Heaven's Gate, can't you just hear him saying--- "Did you hear the one about?…."
