I will forever cherish the many chats we have shared together and the memories we’ve made along the way. I already miss seeing you and hearing you say “here’s my little girl”.

  10. Farewell Dad. You were always there for me, and my greatest supporter of my further education to become a Mechanical Engineer. It was you who took me down the mechanical path, from very early in life, coming to work with you whenever I could, passing you tools, helping you fix, and operate machines. I cherish those days and always remember you saying “come on, you young pup! Let’s go to work!”. You had a hard work ethic, which was passed on to us 3 kids. I am proud to be your son and even prouder to have you as my dad. You are already missed. Belt out a few tunes on the sax and clarinet up there. Until we meet again!! Love and remember you always!!
    Your youngest son, Rodney.
