Thank you for being an example to strive to be as a person, a father, a husband, a coach or anything in life. The lessons you taught me are the things I try to live by every day and as you did with me pass on to others as well.
Your dedication to your family and community was everything and I can only hope to continue that legacy. That couldnt be more evident than by how you treated Melanie as she was never a daughter in law, but you saw her as your daughter.
