A Tribute To Dad

With a smile on his face, and a Spirit of Grace,

A man of few words was he!

An occasional stutter would be laced in his speech,

A compassionate man we would see.

Loved by his family and his friends -

His patience would never end!

We call him: Father, A Good Provider…

Mother would add… "A faithful husband too! AMEN!!!!

He was a child of our Lord and our King.

He treated all with fairness, for the great blessings it would bring!

I will remember his love, and I will miss him so…

But most of all, I will never forget…

when he answered the phone

His signature voice… And his special "H-E-L-L-O-O-O!!!"

Love you, DAD
