You were a man of many talents. You played music, made great pizza, told corny jokes and was a great salesman too. I pray you are up in heaven with mom now peacefully. We will all miss you very much but it gives me comfort knowing you are at peace being with mom again.
Love you dad,
Your daughter, Jackie
