what a beautiful weekend it was, weather wise. I worked the beer booth with Bill on Saturday at Oktoberfest in Covington. It was sponsored by Hut A/C - when I got there I was talking to Pat Lenihan for a bit and he was telling me stories about how dad was as a coach and how neat he thought it was to be able to play with him when he was older and they had a softball league. But just listening to Pat talk it made me realize what a huge impact dad has had on everyone.
I was telling Bill I know us as a family miss him tremendously and how we are having a hard time with it, but I didn't realize how hard it would be for other people. He was such a one of a kind soul who was there for anyone at anytime and he touched so many lives and we will never truly realize how many lives he touched or influenced. It was just a remarkable and proud feeling I had of dad on Saturday listening to some stories from different people.
Just made me miss him more and made me realize that I need to be that person, I need to give more of myself to others. I want to make him proud and to carry on his unique quality of affecting others in such a positive way.
Miss and love you dad,
Much love to all,
