Take care of Megan uncle Mike. If you see my friend William up there take care of him too. He wasn't well down here on earth and I miss him a lot. Tell him to come and tell us where his body is because we haven't found him yet. Love you.

Where can I start!! Well, my dad was the greatest father. He was the type of person that would do anything for anybody. I guess you can say that i got a lot of his traits. I would remember all the time when i asked for money he would always say "your killin me," that was always funny for me when he said that. We have a lot of good times. That i will cherish forever. That is all i basicly have of him left. Believe me there was a lot of times that we would agrue but then we would get over it. My dad was everything to me. I just know that I will miss him deeply and greatly. But I guess God felt that it was his time to go. I will always know that he will be with me at all times as well as the Lord to help me and guide me through this time of need. I want my dad to know that I will me him and that I love him with all my heart, and whatever I said and did to make my dad upset with me, I just want him to know that I am sorry. Dad, I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU A LOT.

I am truly sorry for loss, Mike was a wonderful friend who offered only from his heart and ask little for his kindness, i know i didn't get a chanch to know him as well as most of the people who's life he touched but he meant so much to me in so many ways and the time we did share together were wonderful and i know one of his greatest fears in life was that you (his children) didn't know how much he really loved you because he always had to be the bad guy, but know this, he loved you more than life itself, and he was very proud of both of you, Megan, know he will be there with you the day you graduate, and Ryan, never turn in front of traffic, he will guide you, he loves you because the love of a father is always there, don't doult that.
