Dad I am so very sorry I couldn't make the service. I miss you so much and thank you for being such an outstanding father! You taught us so many important values and skills that I hold and maintain to this day. I apologize for the disappointments I brought to you. I know now you are without pain and in a happier place with Betty. I have reached my dream job building Hot Rods and may even make the cover of 1 of the magazines that will make you and Grandpa John proud of me!
I love you Brad

Sad to read of cousin Bill's passing. Ron is in the new veterans home in Walla Walla and would like to attend the service but not sure if he will be able. Our thoughts are with the family.

Thank you for the condolence, it will be a small service with military honors with family and friends as we say goodbye to Dad. You are more then welcome if you are able, but we also understand if not.
