Pap was more than a wonderful person to have in my life. More than a father figure. He was kind, intelligent, loving, and so much fun. He always a joke to tell, or one to pull on me. He played with all of us when we were young. He would pull us down the ice/snow covered streets, take us out muddin in the dune buggy, and bounce us off of the bottom of his feet until he absolutely had no energy left. He took us on many camping trips and sang silly songs in the car with us. I am truly blessed to have had in my life. I will always love you pap. You're missed much more than I can say. RIP my pa, my friend, my teacher and confidant. Fly high with the angels. It's not goodbye, just I'll see you later. Love you always, Courtney
