My Dad, from the time a was a young child he has taught me so much; from how not to fall when learning to ride a bike, to how to recognize a tree toad when camping to how to operate a lawn mower. There is not enough space here to tell you about my Dad. He was great and loved to tell stories by “talking” with his hands. Had the BEST smile in the world. I will miss him each and every day I have left in this world. Rest in peace Dad, until we meet again! Love you!
