A Tribute To My Dad

On a few rare occasions does life enable us to cross paths with men of great character, conviction, and passion. God gave us the extraordinary privilege to be blessed by such a man. We called him Dad. Many knew our father as Cliff, teacher, coach, commisioner, author, and friend. He certainly was all of those things but so much more.

Although very sad, we celebrate the life of our dad, who epitomized the character of one strongly devoted to his family. We acknowledge that he was a gift from God. And though his journey through life was used to touch a generation of young people, he took time to build into his three sons the values of honesty, integrity, and compassion. As dad entered the ninth inning of life, he stood with a proud legacy. And now he is home, cheering us all on. Thanks dad for supporting us, for teaching us, and especially for loving us. Thanks for being an example of how to love life.

I Will Miss You,
Craig
