Daddy was man of great passion in anything he did. In all things he was determined to give it his best and do it right. He always said if you think right, you'll do right. A message that his grandmother passed down to him. He loved hard and forever, and was one of the most generous people you could find in life. He was one of the greatest examples of forgiveness to me in how he could forgive others that had been less than fair or honest in dealings with him. His children (all of us) were indeed HIS children. He would often refer to us and his many grandchildren also as "my Johnny" or "my Connie" or "my Justin." We are still all his --- all of us. We miss him, but we know he is resting with the God he always taught us to believe in. Daddy truly believed and remained eternally hopefully in all things. His unwavering faith and love will always be cherished, with the memory of him --"my" Daddy. I love you, Daddy. Your, Connie
