This page is in honor of the one man I truly trusted all of my life. My father.

 

My father was the youngest of 3 children. He had 2 older sisters which made him an easy target for their evil humor. He grew up in toronto and met my mother when he was 17 years old. What I came to find out after my father passed away was the my father and mother actually hated one another at first, who would figure?? They obviously grew to love each other because they were married " Till death do part".

 

We were very lucky to have him as a father. He gave us so many wonderful memories growing up, memories which will now be held very close to my heart.

 

My father would take us kids out every week end but not only would he take us out he would bring our hordes of friends also. We went on trips to the zoo, the park, ice skating, picnicking in the park all wonderful trips.

 

Although my father only had a grade 8 education one would never know this by talking with him. He was a very wise and well read man. There was not a thing my father could not accomplish if he wanted to. If he did not know how to do something well he would just pick up a book and start reading.

 

My father was a very wise man with a few words of advice for his girls. One thing he advised me, that I will never forget is " You never get a second chance to make that first impression. Make it a lasting one".

 

My father was sadly taken on to the next world on September 10, 2004 and the pain still lingers so badly some days. I feel, we were robbed of him far to early. I feel that if his doctor had have listened to us and him and taken us more serious then he would be here with us today.

 

Each day is a process now. A day for the healing to work and the pain to be lessened.

 

Our father truly is our hero. He will be missed dearly.

 

I love you dad, always within my heart.
