. Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy and I sure had a special one. He taught me about car motors, music, and life. If any child had a perfect childhood it was me. There was always lots of love, laughter, and numerous shenanigans. Thank you daddy for all of the beautiful life lessons and love. You are forever in my heart .I love you Deb
