| Notes |
- Dad was always a good provider, though financially our family struggle d t o make ends meet. This was especially true at the end of his life,whe n i t was impossible for him to put in the long hours that he had in youn ge r years as he faced his illness. Dad wasn't fond of the little kids- t he y kinda drove him crazy with their fussiness and dependence. However , mo m was very good with the babies, so that was not a problem. Dad love d tal king with the teen children. At times, I thought he probably ha d a bette r relationship with most of his older kids than he did with hi s wife,,bu t of course that was me looking from the outside of his relati onship wit h mom. It was obvious that the two of them loved each other an d made sacr ifices for each other. I remember one Christmas, when mom cam e into the l iving room and found the furniture she had been admiring pop ulating her f ront room!! She was so excited! Dad had the cutest smug fac e... It was pr ecious!
As a teen, I loved to sit for hours with him as he reclined in his com f y chair, especially in his later years (he died of heart disease at a v er y young age.) He had a vast knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, a n d could expound on most any topic due to his extensive reading and thir s t for understanding. It was a blessing to have his counsel and guidanc e , as he was non-judgemental and loving as he tenderly welcomed us to h i s arms. I don't know how I could have made it through those difficult y ea rs without him.
I miss him terribly.
