A tribute to my Dad. He was a Marine. From a family of 10 children. He wanted to be the last surviving son living and he succeeded. He enjoyed telling people jokes and making them laugh. He was a very kind man with a heart of gold. Enjoyed his cash words, going to the Casino and Judge Judy. He was the most devoted Dad.
He taught me so much in life and I am so thankful. He is my hero and my heart is broken. I will truly miss him. Love you, Dad.
Per his wishes there will be no services.
In honor of my Dad, have a shot of Crown Royal. OORAH!
