Dad taught us to show respect, be kind to others, and always be there to take care of our family. He taught Darren the life skills to continue fishing, and the three of us learned to work hard, as he did!

There are so many things about him that we will miss, so it is hard for us to say them all. We loved him very much, and we are very thankful for everything. Our parents always did all they could to give us things we wanted and needed. He loved his family very much!
