My Sweet Dad, I will miss you everyday .. just as I do my beloved Mom and Brother who passed before you. You helped me with my homework, you took me fishing, hunting, hiking, skiing, skating and on those Mississippi River vacations. You raised me with a strong sense of right and wrong, good Christian values and pushed me to do my best. I loved that you could be the strong tough Dad but then come out to play with us at night for a good game of Ditch or Capture the Flag. We sure had fun and I will hold those memories close forever❤️

Sorry for your loss. I have a lot of fond memories of our families getting together at eagle lake. Our parents also had a special friendship. We miss them all but cherish the memories.
