With great sorrow, I am writing to inform you that Daddy peacefully passed away on Tuesday, July 30th.  I have not been able to write this journal entry until today.  We humbly appreciate the outpouring of love, support and prayers that you shared with us during his 12 day stay in the hospital.  While Daddy's death may seem sudden to some of you, please find comfort and peace that he went to Heaven to be with Leah and Jimmy.  Some were blessed to have him on earth for almost 82 years, for my mother-he was a devoted and loving husband of 57 years and to me he was the BEST DADDY EVER!!!!  Please reach deep within your faith (as Daddy would) and know that he would not want you to grieve for him, but rejoice in his presence with the Lord in Heaven.  Daddy will forever remain in the hearts of the many people he loved, as he never met a stranger or made an enemy while on earth.  May God bless all of you and your families. Amy
