Your son Ken

It's barely been a day, Dad. I miss you terribly already. You were such a great guy, father, father-in-law, grandfather, and great grandfather. Everyone loved you, 'Tommy'. Thank you, thank you, thank you for always being there for me when I was growing up, and later being there for my family. I could always count on you and mom. I know you realized and appreciated Jan and me for taking care of you and mom when life required us to reverse roles as guardians for each other. I know you knew that everything we did was in your best interests, even when it seemed unpleasant. I am glad that we all were able to say how we felt before your passing. And, thank you for treating my wonderful beautiful wife as your own daughter. You and mom were truly parents to her. You will always be loved and missed. I love you, Dad.
