You were an amazing father. I was so blessed to be your daughter. Your infectious laugh and kindness will be missed greatly. I can’t imagine going in football season and not getting phone calls about every close game or the bad calls. Watching football will never be the same. My passion for the game will instilled in me by you. I will never forget the story about you winning a trophy when you were a child when you participated in Punt, Pass, and Kick. Your face lite up everything you shared that story and it was like I was hearing it for the first time, each and every time you shared it. While football was just one of the many memories I have with you, I will cherish all the other the other memories as well.
I hope I continue to make you proud! I love you always and forever!
