My father was a humble man of great faith. He was a true and loyal friend to many who knew him. Dad loved his fishing so much that his own mother would often say " your dad has fish on the brain".Dad was my hero. Dad was skating laps around the arena the equivalent of 3 laps =1mile and he was skating the equivalent of skating around Lake Superior to raise money for cancer on behalf of my mother who is a breast cancer survivor. Dad was 76 when he first started doing this and he raised over $7,000.00 that first year and has been doing it every year since. He was finishing up his last lap when he had a massive heart attack and never recovered. He died doing something he loved and strongly believed in.
Happy Birthday Dad

Dad & Mom
Thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keep sake, I have you in my heart. Miss you both so much dad & mom, you are forever in my heart. Love Carole
Februay 19 2010 a Sad day for me
I just can't believe that it's been two years today February 19 2008 that you left us dad, and how ironic that just a month ago today January 19 2010 mom left us to join you. God how I miss you both ever so much!! ..God just help me make it through today as it is a very tough day for me. I love and miss you.
a million words will not bring you back I know because I have tried,a million tears will not bring you back I know because I have cried...
Well it's Christmas once again dad and my mind wanders to the past when you were the one who would don the santa hat and pass out all the gifts. God how I miss those times!!!... We all got one of the best Christmas presents ever... Haley made the Women's Hockey team and will be playing in the Oympics in 2010!!! ...We all know how very proud you would be of her because it was you who taught her how to skate at the tender age of two and how to hold a hockey stick.I bet you new deep in your heart that she would take hockey all the way didn't you?... Watch over her dad while she goes for the gold!!!! We all love and miss you very much dad and you are always in our hearts. Merry Christmas dad Love Carole and Vernon
Happy Thanksgiving Dad!
Well today is Thanksgiving day dad and I sit here thinking of you.I give thanks that God made you my father and let me have you for 46 years before he took you to his home in heaven above. I remember all the past thanksgivings that we all shared together and I wouldn't trade them for the world. These memories I will cherish forever in my heart. Happy Thanksgiving Day dad.Love and miss you lots. (and yes I gave Vernon the turkey legs and dark meat you loved so much LOL)
Gone Fishin'
APRIL 25 1927 to FEBRUARY 19 2008
God grant that I may live to fish,
for another shining day.
But when my final cast is made,
I then most humbly pray,
When nestled in your landing net,
as I lay peacefully asleep
You'll smile at me
and judge that I'm
"Good enough to Keep"
"Our Hero" Dad We will always remember you.
Missing you!!
Missing someone isn't about how long it's been since you've seen them last or the amount of time since you last talked.
It's about that very moment when you're doing something and you wish that they were right there with you.

The years will fall like autumn leaves upon his memory.
The touch of Time will ease the heartache, gently, tenderly...
It cannot always be like this; the agony will cease.
And I, resigned, shall find at last - my healing and my peace.
There comes a time when grief must end and sorrow pass away.
Never will he be forgotten - but there'll come a day -
when I shall remember him without a stab of pain -
happy in the secret knowledge that we'll meet again.
(Patience Strong)
Dying Inside
Something so hard
goes straight to the soul;
it seems impossible to get over
and my heart is left with a big hole.
I'm trying to be happy, wearing a smile;
but I'm dying inside.
The world seems to be fading,
and I just want to run and hide.
Everywhere I go I see your face,
and realize how much I miss you;
and on the day you died
a piece of me died too.
