A hardworking man all his life, gave his best in everything he did. Parenting didn’t come with a handbook, but he did it his way. His saying “It is what it is” sums him up perfectly.

You taught me how to grow things, how to laugh, how to love quietly. You were my first best friend, my Granda, and I’ll carry you with me always.

On sunny days and dark nights, in troubled times and pointless fights, you've been right there through it all, you've stood your ground when you could have taken the fall. Many times my mouth has slipped free, but you were always there to put it back where it was supposed to be. You've taught me a lot, and a lot I have learned. You've given me the tables and many I have turned. You deserve the world, but only a poem I could give, but another gift I have given is to learn that the life of a father is a life to love. Thank you dad for your love.
