Ah dad, so many memories to treasure! I am really going to miss the way in which you took such pleasure in planning and preparing a delicious meal for everyone, the big fry for breakfast...the do not disturb while you watched your "football"(soccer) matches...the laughter that came from deep down within you...your liking of John Wayne and the old western movies...getting us hooked on "Gibbs" NCIS...your enjoying the Bee Gees lol...being the kids biggest fan in their sports, always checking in on how they did and encouraging them on...our big talks out on the deck about life and politics...your homemade wine -- there is none other that matches it 😊... every dog you ever had was always named Sam; male or female 😄...your love for boats...your love for mom (Cath). Gonna miss you.
