He is a wonderful man who has given so much, and
who brings love and joy to the lives he has touched.
Hes a special person who willingly shares,

he is the one who encourages and patiently guides.
Who think of his children with pride
and because his devotion is loving and true
his Family Ties last a whole lifetime through.
