He was a strong man. he lived life to the fullest loving his family and loving his life. he struggled with alcoholism, but beat it. memories of pepsi, ice cream sandwiches, and swiss cake rolls will live on forever. i still buy those to this date except the pepsi part. he loved to embarass us children with loud preaching while walking down the street. it was all fun though. memories that last a lifetime. until we meet again..we love you dad....
