He never looked for praises. He was never one to boast. He just went on quietly working

for those he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken.

His wants were very few. And most of the time his worries

went unspoken too. He’s there a firm foundation Through all our storms of life A sturdy hand to hold unto In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to When times were good or bad.

One of our greatest blessing The man that we called “Dad”! A Dad leaves his mark in the world through the love he gives

his Family.
