Happy Heavenly Birthday Dad you would be 78 and relaxing doing hunting or fishing and singing all those songs you would listen to while driving. I sure miss those days as a boy riding around with you. I often wonder how different my life would be if you hadn't lost your life? You stood for truth and justice and how to be a better man. This world needs more men like you. Always know you are my hero and I love you so dearly. With love your son Bryan.
