Tina and kids,
I am so sorry for your loss. The lord has received a great man. He was a great person who added so much to every life he touched. I will miss his cheese jokes. Then with that smirk after words. It would just crack me up. Words cannot describe the pain y’all must be in. I lost my father at a young age and I am here to tell you that it will soon get better. He will be missed.
