Dad – You were more than just a step-father and I grew to love you very much! You were always such a good person, kind, understanding, and you set so many great examples for us to follow. I hope that I can carry on your love and hard work ethics as you were the best Dad a child could ever have. I thank God for letting you come into my life! I will miss you greatly! Please give Mom a kiss for me! Much love, Kathi Laboy (daughter).

Kathi, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I know we haven’t seen or talked in years, but I often think of you and Pike. Just remember that your Dad is in a better place and that he will always be watching over you. Take care Cindi
