I love your father and your family as if my own. This is truly a sad day.
Some of my fondest memories growing up were going to “the camp” with your family-swimming, boating, fishing, and getting sunburnt running crab nets.
I remember your Dad boiling up shrimp and crabs we caught just hours earlier. These were the best days of my life! I never realized the generosity of your Mom and Dad at the time, we were just kids.
I had many “First” with your family that never would have happened without your Dad’s love for life and adventure.
This may not sound like much but, it was huge deal to me as eleven or twelve year old kid. It was my first time to Ponchartrain Beach Amusement Park. We had a great time riding all the rides, even riding the scary “mouse trap”. I remember your Mom and Dad sitting on the benches smiling and watching us having all the fun.
I remember my first time riding a moped around the neighborhood. We would all argue whose turn would be next. We thought we so cool wearing old football helmets and pedaling to get the moped up to speed.
I remember my first time to ride in a convertible. The old Triumph Spitfire! We would go down River Road as fast as we could. All the twist and turns made it an exciting ride. I could not believe that your Dad would actually let us take it for a spin. I know your Mom and Dad enjoyed riding with the top down as much as we did.
Your dad took me to my first LSU game. What a thrill. We all rode on a bus to “Death valley”.
LSU won and the ride home was as much fun as the ride to the campus.
I remember my first trip out of the country, the Cayman Islands. We had so much fun walking along the beach and chilling in the hammocks drinking “Tropical Depressions”. I remember your Dad taking us snorkeling off Eden Rock and lining up the boat trip to Stingray Alley. The last day on the island we saved a guy who was drowning. What a way to end a great trip! I am sure there are many other “First” I just can’t remember them at this moment in time. I cherish these childhood memories thanks to your Dad and your family.
The qualities I will always remember about your Dad, first and far most, He was a great caring father.
He always wanted the best for his kids but he did not spoil them. He was so smart, he could figure out anything. Your dad was always quick with a joke. You could never be sad around Him. His glass was always half full, never half empty.
