“Yes Brian ... I remember him touring me through the house in Rockwood, showing me where the bedrooms and bathrooms would come to be - I did not believe him!!! But sure enough he managed to build a beautiful home for your family - so focused on providing you all with everything he could. What an amazing man. I also remember a Saturday afternoon when he had us pulling weeds in the pasture by your home... I think we eventually got there, but it was definitely not in an afternoon!”

“From kindergarten to his passing, he was my best friend. Not a day goes by where he is not missed. I am thankful that my wife got to meet him, I only wish that my children had had the opportunity. Kai, we miss you. I wish that I could have been there for you, I would have done anything to help you.”

“xoxox love you daddy.... just as much today, as every other.”
