To many, I was your son-in-law. To you, I was your son.

I am so grateful for all that you taught me. Wisdom that I am honored to pass on.

Your leadership was out of the box and inspirational.

Your life has redefined my definition of the word “determination”.

Despite your many roles and successes, you were a humble servant.

Your encouragement had a way of strengthening those who needed it most.

You only gave me advice when I asked for it.

You embraced my dreams and extended both hands to help me achieve them.

You left this world, this state, this town and family better than it was before you found it.

You will be missed. Your life will be celebrated. I am so proud of you.

“Sonny Boy”
