        My Dad was one of the best. He was a true engineer through and through, and his life reflects his love of his work. He loved his family in the same fierce way, but he was a quiet man and not terribly demonstrative. Sometimes it was better to put your thoughts into a letter and let him ponder over them for a while, then you would get your best answer. When we were young, he had little time for play, but when we were at the beach on Anna Maria Island each summer, he would let his hair down. I remember raft fights, and toe fights in the water; body surfing on rough days, sailing and shell collecting. He really enjoyed sitting on the rocks with Mary Lou King and telling stories for hours (it was the only time during the year they ever got to see each other.) We had great picnics with the McGinnises', the Parvins & Tuckers. We used to have cookouts on the beach and steam corn with wet seaweed. I remember making coquina soup, playing endless card games, and just being together listening to the wind blow through the pine trees and the surf pound.
   
   I believe that men, when they have families, work responsibilities, mortgages, etc., are so focused on these responsibilities that they sometimes miss out on the day to day activities. As their children grow and leave the nest, they begin to mellow and enjoy themselves more. I remmember my sisters and I worried about what Mom and Dad "would do in their retirement" because they seemed to live such intense lives, but they surprised us all. They took up photography with a vengence, built train sets for the grandchildren to enjoy, started to travel to far away places.
   
   Family was everything to Mom and Dad and Daddy took a page from all of Mom's writing and began to write for himself. He was very good at it. He worked hard on his geneology, wrote short stories about all of his trips, wrote about his time in the war because one of the grandchildren asked about it. We all have items of his woodworking "period" from marvelous jewelry boxes, string art, furniture and various creative pieces.
   
   I think one of the happiest times for Dad was the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He would get down on the floor and play "build a fort" or listen intently to something one of the little ones had to share. He was always happy with a great-grandchild in his lap.
   
   After Mother passed away, Dad was blessed with a new and different love. Priscilla Gryder (an old family friend) provided Dad with love and companionship, joy and excitement, and just plain fun for the last twelve years. I am very grateful that God saw to it that Dad was not alone and that there was so much love in his life.
   
   I will miss you Dad, for you were my rock for so many years, but I know you and Mom are together again, happy, healthy, pain free and watching us all from above.
   
   "Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one the Chain will link again."
   
   With all my love, Karen
