Just one memory is impossible when u were a huge part of my childhood, you were my second dad, you taught my brothers and me so much. From water-skiing, to cliff diving, shooting guns, snow mobiling, swimming by dropping us off in the middle of the lake and telling us to swim back, camping, climbing mountains, horseback riding, RESPECT, driving us to the chip pile in your red pickup and telling us to walk back, which was probably 200 ft but felt like 200 miles in the dark, to laugh and cry, you flew me home in the plane you built handing me a bag and telling me to throw up in it not in your plane, the laughs are so many the cries are few but boy did you teach us about life. You and my Dad were best friends from childhood and I am so fortunate to be able to have had u in my life as a bonus Dad, I am so grateful for the past few August's spending with you, Karen Michele and Lisa, we laughed so hard and made so many new memories, like going to lunch right down the road to you, but 200 miles later and 20 detours, peed my pants laughing but yes we did get to eat lunch, and the memories will last my lifetime!! I love you and Thank you for teaching us life, you are a man's man, strong but gentle, I will miss you so much but promise you, I will continue to make memories with Karen, she is my 2nd mom and also taught me so much and loved me like her own, ❤️ so here's to not goodbye but see you later, give my Dad and Hank hugs and cheers to the gang being together again, forever in my heart!!
