My father was a constant presence in my life. He was always there to support me in whatever way he could without judgement or criticism. At the same time he taught me the value of integrity, discipline, having my own opinions and living life on my own terms. He treated me like the most important person in the world and I will be forever grateful.
Dad constantly put others' happiness and well-being above his own. Always going above and beyond he took care of those around him. Strength, pride, independence, discipline, and an eye for quality defined him.
The song "My Way" by Frank Sinatra embodies who he was. Thinking of him now, that song comes to mind and I quote:
"I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and ev'ry highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way." less
