My Eulogy to you..

A man of his word
A strong willed individual
One who was strict but fair
Who always wanted his way regardless of who complained
Understanding his discipline is appreciated as you grew
One who questioned your actions, and expected you to know why
Whose car was clean almost all the time
Who had a list of chores for you before he left to do errands
The one who showed you the important things many take for granted
One who fought for what was right
The man who knew to scold you but made sure you understood why and what for
The man who showed you why it was important to know the right from wrong
A man who felt strongly about family
The one whom kept in touch with everyone no matter what other issues were occuring
He kept family together
One with great manners and values, and it showed
He emphasized the importance on how to represent yourself
Why being shy wasn't the way to live, but to speak out would make you be noticed and be respected
A man who believed in the word "can't" did NOT exist
A man who worked hard to being successful
The one to learn from
One who was knowledgable in all he did, whether it was fixing things around the house all the way to managing your money
The one to be afraid of, no matter the age
The one to look up to
A man in whom you had to earn his trust and respect
An individual who helped in so many ways
Ways in which money nor material things can pay him back
A man who accepted you and took you in
The one who set up rules in which you must follow
A believer in hard work pays off in the end
A man who welcomed you even if you were just a friend of the family
The man who knew many people
A great Uncle, Brother, and father to many
Most importantly a great companion to Jim and Steve
A friend
He touched many peoples lives whether it was for a second or even more
A successful individual who enjoyed every moment of his life
He has accomplished so much in such short time that many would dream to do what he's done
The one whose traveled near and far
We thank you for all that you have done
A man with a great life at a better resting place now
One who will be truly missed
One to not forget and keep in your heart
He is not lost now, he's at rest, he's at peace
You will always be loved
You will never be forgotten
We remember the memories, the laughs, the tears, and the great times
Words could not describe how much we owe you
Thank you
May you rest in Peace
