My dad was the jack of all trades, and he always will be." "My father didn't tell me how to live. He lived, and let me watch him do it." "Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call ed him dad, because you are so special to me. my dad never hesitated to help anyone who needed it and he always did it with a smile and never complained, he did so much for anybody. he was a definite people person. he was loved and well known by many. my best memories of my dad are whenever he would come back from a trip out of town he'd come by my house with the charter bus and we'd ride back to the bus garage and park the bus. also one day when i was little in elementary school he picked me up in the va tours charter bus, that was something all the kids were like wow, how do you get to ride home in a tour bus, im like my dads a bus driver. that was a really fun moment. the best best memory i have is when he would take me to kings dominion he always got in for free because of the people that he took on the trip so we got in to kings dominion for free and just had fun all day riding all the rollercoasters, eating good food and chiiling at the water park. my last great memory of dad is when he picked me up in a limozine and as we were riding down the highway, everyone though i was a celebrity in the limo and people were waving at me. my dad took me alot places in life so many memories, so im really really going to miss him. god bless his soul. may my daddy rest in heaven. we miss you and love you daddy. thanks for the great memories and the ride of life. god bless you daddy.
