Rod this is what I know about you..you were a good man.. a man who served and loved his country.. most importantly you were devoted to your family and always put them first!! This is what I wish for you: your in a beautiful place, in an airplane hanger and your building a white plane!! You turn smile and give a thumbs up! Look up next time you hear a plane, it might be white and it might tip one wing to say: I’m ok .. it’s all good!

To my dad. I love and miss you very much. I knew this day would come and it’s been hard but even though you’re not physically here, I know you’re here in spirit and that gives me great Comfort. I will miss our phone calls and your advice on whatever. Just know that each day I look in the mirror I can see more and more of you and that makes me proud your be your son. You taught me well and made me a good man. I’m hoping I can pass your traits down to my children so they too can be exceptional people. Until we meet again dad. I love you with all my heart.

My favorite memories of you are putting pink doll curlers in your hair while you watched M*A*S*H or Star Trek, you singing "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream", the snowmobile tracks you made in the winter for us to drive on so we were safe, the tree house that you built that I played in endlessly, taking us to the Coney Island so I could listen to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean a million times and for all visits to Grandma and Grandpa's house, they both always put you on a pedestal; right where you belonged. Thank you for being my everything during this time in my life, my Mom and Dad. Not many men could have done what you did.

Dad and I would go on car rides and stop and get a soda from McDonald’s or A&W and we would just drive and dad would start singing “ earl earl bo bearl file fo for feral yo earl!” He would sing some variation of this the whole time. What I wouldn’t give to hear that song from him again. Miss you dad.

The things we could have done together, from vehicle projects, to yard work, to cooking, these activities will be forever empty without him. The funny faces, the airplane construction, it is all irreplaceable. He is loved more than he knew and missed even more.

Thank you for being such a positive role model in my life, my sweet uncle. I’ll remember forever how much fun I had as a kid tinkering in your barn with your tools, your routine of watching the news and Seinfeld after getting home from work, and your love of model airplanes. I will miss your handsome smile and words of wisdom so much!

I will always wish I had more time with you, Dad. 21 years was too short. I feel like I've barely established my own life, there's so much that you wont be here for. I will be forever grateful for the time we did share though, you cared for our family so much. I don't know where the rest of my life will take me, but I hope I make you proud. And now I know that I have one more angel to watch over me. You are so missed, I will love you always.

Dad, wherever you are, I sure hope there is lots of things for you to tinker with and endless planes for you to build. There are so many things I wished I could have done with you, but as you said, life isn't perfect. I remember you telling me there are a million paths to take and we are only allowed to take one; I hope you realized that I was always listening and learning.
My heart has ached many times over you during my life, but this ache has been the worst. I know you said, life goes on, but it just doesn't go on the same.
"You will always be in my heart"… because in there you’re still alive....
Love, Michelle
