So sorry to hear about your Dad. He was an awesome man and will be forever remembered for his sense of humor, love and the fact that he was one of those men that was “solid as a rock”! Just thinking about how whenever I saw him – no matter how long it had been – we had our own joke about the way i said “fudgesicles”!!! Funny guy – good man! Love and prayers to all of you. I miss and luv you guys hope to see you soon. Dee
