I have recieved a lot of emails regarding my family, which I do try to keep private.  But I did want to put up some pictures of my Dad.  He passed away Valentines Day 2008.  I did not have the pleasure of being raised by my Dad.  My mom was his first wife and they  divorced when I was quite young and he did go on to have another family.  I was able to find him later in life and get to know him somewhat.   I am proud that my daughter had his first great grandkids and I am glad Melissa got to meet him before he passed on.   I always wish I got to know him more, but we can't change the past.  He was open and loving and so glad to see me, and never ever hesitate to say he loved me.  He had a great sense of humor that I miss also.  I wish he was still with us, I wanted more time with him.  Don't get me wrong, I had a GREAT step-dad and ironically I grew up not using terms like 'step' and 'half'  ~~~ Family is family, Family is really important to me.  I love my music and all but when it comes down to it, I love my family more than anything, I always want more time with them, I would go back in time if I could just to have more time with my family.  Now that I have this website, I wanted to dedicate a page just to my Dad.  So many of the pics I have are hung up around my house and I will need to somehow get them on the computer to upload but I do have a few here and I wanted to get this page started.   I miss my Dad and wish I had more time with him.
