To the man who taught me all about life and values, simply by being a man of honesty and quiet strength... To the man I admire for his ability to lead by example; to lighten a care just by listening; to love unconditionally... To the man I respect, the man who's always been there for me, no matter what I needed, ever since I can remember... Semper Fi «Obituary posted: September 5, 2007 The State»
