Never in a lifetime could I have imagined having a greater father-in-law! He was more to me than that. He was my father after my own passed away. He was my friend and my inspiration in many ways. He was a gentle giant of a man with a smile that lit up a room. He radiated peace and love and people loved to be around him. He was his happiest when he was surrounded by family and friends. He was a self taught musician and the music that came from his harmonica and guitars were happy happy music. My soul is satisfied knowing he is with his maker and his wife and kids that went before him. My heart is grieved but takes comfort in being with those who knew and loved the man I called Dad.
