In Loving Memory....


My Mom and Dad had this taken last year, acually I pressured them into it :)

If any of you haven' t heard yet, my Dad passed away. We were hoping that things would work out differently, but our plans aren't always the same as Heavenly Father's.

Some of my thoughts on my Dad....

My Dad was born on January 12, 1947. He is the oldest son and has one older sister, two younger brothers and a younger sister.

He was a great athlete and played fast pitch softball for years. I have many memories of hours at the ballpark while Dad was playing games. He was great at anything he did, especially sports. He played football and basketball in High School. And he was a star quarterback for his team. He played football for Utah State Universiy for a couple years also. He even at the age of 23 tried out for the Kansas City Royals(baseball), but they said he was too old.

He made friends anywhere he went and was usually happiest when he was on the golf course. He even tried to teach me, on many occasions, how to play. He wanted me to play so I could make a lot of money :) I never really liked golf, so I didn't try too hard. He was a great man and I will miss him terribly. I will keep this short since it is still hard right now.




His High School picture, isn't he so handsome!

Jamie, We couldn't believe it when we heard the news. It seems just like yesterday that we met your dad (when you first moved to Midland). He is way too young to be gone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your mom and family at this difficult time.
Sending love.
