A wonderful man who was the center of our world. He reset the bar for what the human body was capable of withstanding and accomplishing. You will forever be our inspiration and I will always do my best to make you proud. I love you more than I could ever say or show. You were and always will be my best friend, boss man, and mentor. Save me a seat beside you, I will see you soon. With all my heart and soul, I love you and miss you. Your son.
