I loved this man from Hello, when I met him thirty-one years ago. He was like a best friend to me more than a father in law. He was the most generous and down to earth human being you could imagine. Tears rolling down my cheeks as I write this. I will miss our talks and our time together terribly. This world is a lesser place without him in it. However, I´m also happy for him that he is in an eternal embrace with his beloved wife Beverly. He missed her so very much and now they are together forever. I love you Dee! I couldn´t have asked for a better father in law! I ask myself why do I physically cry when talking about him? I know the answer is because I loved him. If you don´t have love those feelings wouldn´t show. I know some day I´ll see your smiling face again and I know that you will give me a huge hug and I´ll be so happy to see you. I promise to take care of your wonderful daughter, the love of my life! Of course I know that you know that.
I miss you so very much my friend. I know that my father, Jimmy Bradshaw, Bobby McGregor, your dad, your mom, your brother are all in line waiting to hug you and welcome you once you and Bev can separate for a second... lol! So hard to say goodbye but I know that you are happy, which gives me comfort. Until we meet again my friend. All my love, Joe
