I am so thankful that we were able to share as many things together that we did, and for all the time we had together. He was my hero in many ways, he was giving, and was a great influence in my life and will continue to be. I love you Dad and you will be deeply missed. Molly My dad was the best dad anyone could ask for. He was always there for me, whether good or bad. My dad will always be with me wherever I go and I know he's up there watching over me and my family. Be good to yourself, dad, we miss you and love you very much. Your #1 son and fan, John Patrick To My Father --- I love you so much. I have so many unanswered questions, but a nasty disease robbed me of my answers. I can only hope, in my remaining days, to be half the man that you have been. I miss you a ton and will carry you with me always, …… and the pig got up and slowly walked away. Love always, Jimmy
