Robbie and Amber, Your Dad brought so much joy to all who knew him. He was always so much fun and when he would see me, had a big smile and greeting. He is now bringing his joy and fun spirit to heaven—you know he was welcomed with open arms by your Mom and so many others who loved him here on earth. We are all sad but heaven and especially his beloved Deb is rejoicing.
My brother John will miss his Red Dog so much. He was so much a part of John and Alison’s family. You all have so many memories to cherish—may they bring you comfort and healing for your broken hearts.
Rest In Peace Red.
