Dad, what a wonderful dad and roll model. You were one that was all about your family and never about yourself. You were and still a roll model. You certainly knew how to make the best out of any situation. These past 10 years I know we're the toughest but you still managed to have a great personality, and laugh even when most would of cried. Your few phrases will live on forever. I love you! You are the best! Barb

Dear Dad, I am one of the Vietnamese refugee children that you and your family supported during the 1980's. I still remember the biggest, warmest smile and positive attitude that you gave us each time we met. You have done many good things to us and both you and Mom are very special parents. Through the years, all the children have lived in different places but we always remember you. We are so sorry to hear this loss and regret a lot. I am sure you will be with God because you are so kind and generous. I learn lot from you. Thanks Dad. You are in my thoughts always. With Love, Nick Hoang(aka Nghia-Minh).
