From daughter Donna on 08/27/2008

I was the envy of all my junior high and high school friends because my Dad was so handsome and looked like Burt Reynolds. They only knew what they saw in pictures. They didn't know how much he loved us, how sentimental he was. They never heard him tell a joke, never heard him laugh. He was a great Dad. I talked to him on the phone almost every single morning, and I can't believe I'll never talk to him again. I will miss him every day. Love, Donna
