I really appreciate all the kind emails and correspondence I've gotten from all my friends, fans, co-workers and clients about the passing of my father. He passed after only being diagnosed with pancreas cancer 3 months ago. He was only 72. He was a great dad, great role model and is going to be missed by so many people. His funeral was really nice as people stood up and spoke about my dad and about what he meant to them. I was happy he had so many good friends in his life and how much he meant to them. He was very active in his church and he and my mom were mentors in "Marriage Encounter" and I know together, they've touched many. My brother wrote a song and sang it in his honor. You know it was awesome if you know my bro. I think if it weren't for being a funeral it would've been a standing ovation. I hope he records it. He always backed my bodybuilding and my aspirations. He wanted his kids to enjoy what they did and excel in what they wanted. I think I see him everywhere I go and it's going to be very strange for quite a long while. I hope I'm as well remembered as he was...a great dad, grandpa, and great grandpa, husband and friend to many. I will miss him every day for the rest of my life.
