A Fireman's Dedication

    This site is dedicated to my dad who was a Fire Chief and served from 1960 until 1980 in Ohio. He passed away on May 20, 1998, he will be missed dearly, but never forgotten. He was one special husband, dad, grandfather, great grandfather and friend to anyone who knew him. He will always be remembered by those whose lives he saved. I say "Thanks Dad!!" you were one in a million to all of us.

    DAD

    There's a special kind of feeling when you talk about your dad;
    it's a pleasure to remember all the happy times you've had.

    There's a special sort of feeling that's warm and loving too;
    a special kind of pride that comes with loving thoughts of you.

    There's a special kind of caring that is meant for him alone;
    there's a place within your heart that only Dad can own!

    With all our love Dad

    Sharon, Nancy, Lyn, Cheryl, Terry, Butch, Becky & Jim

    Dad one year ago God put an end to your pain
    Oh how we’ve missed you again and again
    It was hard to let go so instead we’ve held on
    Your loving embrace within our hearts still beats strong
    We were blessed to have had you as a father and a friend
    The memories of a lifetime will never ever end
    If strength and wisdom and caring nature live
    Deep within each of us you taught us how to give
    Have no regrets and live each day as if it were your last
    You gave us the best of values and it is hard to believe the time has passed
    We miss your smile, we miss your hugs and we miss your loving embrace
    Yet we are so thankful that we had the best father in the world ~ no better friend could ever take your place
    Your love lives on within each of us and it will never end
    To make the most of life is how our time we’ll spend
    We lost so much a year ago ~ however we had gained so much more
    To have known you and loved you has more than settled the score

    Dad we miss you so very much, however, we know you are in a better place and for me you are with one very special angel, Jenny your granddaughter and my daughter. I don't know why things happen the way that they do Dad, but I know that these next few weeks are going to be a rough one with your passing away a year ago today and Jen's passing away on May 29, 1990. But I know you are both free of your pain now and right beside God with his other angels and that makes it a little more easier to accept. Dad you were one very special Dad and I hope you know how much you meant to all of us eight kids of yours...lol...you taught us how to continue on when times get rough and these are one of those times Dad. I hope I can continue and be the daughter that you wanted me to be ~ there to help people ~ for that I say thank you dad, you were a great leader and teacher. Miss you Dad and love you very much ~ would give anything for just another hug.
