Emily's favorite things about him- You never know what to expect with him, maybe you will want to laugh, or sometimes cry, but the bottom line is that he is a very honest, very trustworthy, very hardworking, very generous, very funny, very intelligent, very interesting, and extremely loved by his family.
I always appreciate the medical advise, the excellent steak he makes when he comes in town, the trips that he makes to the store with Kevin, to pick up things that we forgot, the patience he has when it comes to explaining directions to us, the late night movies, and Uno games, piano he plays, fun and interesting facts that he mentions, hearing another perspective from him, and mostly I am so appreciative of the great Father and Friend that he is to Kevin.
Happy Birthday DAD! WE LOVE YOU! AND WE ARE THANKFUL TO HAVE YOU!
