I have a very fond memory of my cousin David and his brother Donald dancing in the basement at a family gathering at our grandma's house when they were teenagers . Boy could they dance! As an adult I always enjoyed visiting with David and Emilly. I will keep you all in my prayers.

My memory of my father, as his first-born son, is how much he smiled, loved to laugh, loved to tell jokes, do impressions and how much he loved gadgets and learning about new things. He gave all these gifts to me. He was a wonderfully positive person and he did all those things good dads tend to do, taught me how to ride a bike, how to read and write, how to look up things (back then in dictionaries and encyclopedias), how to paint a house, hammer a nail, use tools and do all those things a man needs to know how to do, like camping, swimming, fishing, etc. He could dance the Swing better than anybody I have ever known. He loved his children dearly and his wife even more. He was a good man. A bit stubborn. But good nevertheless. I will miss him now badly until I see him again.
