Dad
You were a great father. I am who I am today because of your guidance and knowledge. So many memories growing up with my mini bikes and dirt bikes. You were there always to help with fixing them after I crashed them. We had some differences which way to fix them but you were always right that I see now. Young kids think they know everything, so wrong! All the times we had small game hunting at the family farm every Saturday. Grammy would always cook what we harvested. Being on the farm with you every weekend also was a big influence in my life. All young children need to get into hunting like you showed us early on. Then deer hunting at the Sigler's Farm were Bobby worked. Getting up at 3:00 am to help milk the cows so Bobby could hunt with us. Uncle Jim, Jimmy, Bobby, Stevie, but come to find out when a big buck went by and he could not shoot the buck. Hunting is not for everyone. I would of stabbed that deer with a knife if I could of. That was the last time he ever hunted. Dad and I did so much together over the years. I wanted to quit school and Dad said you really need to get you Diploma for your future. I disagreed but I did managed to get my diploma. He was so proud because I think if I would of really pressed the issue I could of quit but I am glad he steered me in the right direction as always. I was roofing and barely making ends meet when he convinced me to go to M&M for a job. I did not want to work in a factory and said no on numerous times. He said you need to work with me and make a lot more money than roofing. I agreed to a interview knowing deep in my heart I was not going to work in a factory. I was a outside kind of guy plus I had 2yrs of Building construction training at Warren Tech. Like I said before he was always right and looking years ahead. 30 yrs later I retired for M&M's and that's where I met my beautiful wife of 33 years. He had his hand it that to. He told me you need to pursue her. He was right again. You are the Greatest Dad and I will always miss you Knowledge, Work Ethic, and Great Spirit!
RIP Mom is waiting for you..
Love you Forever
