No one could grow tomatoes like Dad of Dad's Tomato Garden. I have known Dad for many years along with his daughter Mary through our blogs. I believe they were the first to comment when I first started a journal many years ago. Two of the sweetest people you could ever know.
Dad lived his life so that others could see exactly what he was. He loved his Lord, his children (Mary and Jim), and great grandchildren along with his kitties Princess(deceased) and Prince still living. He wrote of them often. He posted many pictures of his loving family as the years went by. His family loved him back just as much. We all lost him to his spiritual world on May 9, 2012. We here in this blog world are going to miss him also. I know his Lord told him "Welcome Home my Beloved Son in whom I am well pleased". I can almost see him rejoicing with his Family and beloved Wife LaVerne who have gone on before.
Rest in Peace Dad. We all loved you.

ReplyDeleteDAD was a gem, and I will miss him.
ReplyDeleteThat was a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. I thought of his wife LaVerne too and how he missed her.
ReplyDeleteI always felt uplifted when I stopped by his blog. He will be sorely missed by this BLOGGING community. May he REST IN PEACE. Soaring high amongst the Angels.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice tribute to a fine man. You said the right things. I did not know him as well as you, we seem to remember the first commenter, and they become good friends.
ReplyDeleteThe best to you and Ken today!!!
Nice tribute.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tribute. I know he is happy in Heaven with his family, but we sure will miss him down here. I hope your back is doing better. Take care, Sheila

ReplyDeleteI visited Dad on occasion. Your tribute is beautiful Helen. I know he'll be missed, but you are right about him being home with the Lord. - Barbara
