To my brother in law I still can't believe you're gone!! We will truly miss you. You were the best husband and friend to my sister for the past 32 + years. You would do anything for her all she had to do was ask. Your daughters loved you beyond words you guided them to the beautiful and independent woman they are today. They always came first no matter what. Always pointing them in the right direcrion. They would confide in you and you always gave them your undivided attention. Great husband, dad and brother in law. Words can not describe the loss we all feel All our love Ellen & John ????????????
Patty, Nina and Missy,
