My Dad , My Hero . I remember when you were my age . Figuring out this world . Trying to do the right thing to better not only your life but all the lives around you . You guided me , provided for me and taught me skills , lessons , and gave me the greatest memories that will be with me forever . You will not be forgotten , the love you left everywhere you were is something myself and everyone is beyond grateful for . You got older and did exactly what you desired to do . Gave everything you had to what you were doing . Being a Hockey Player , Referee , Church Memeber , Fireman , Town Council , Technician , Friend , Husband , Grandpa , Brother , Son , Father . The shirt off your back kind of guy . You bettered everyone's life around you . Everywhere you went . What an amazing ride it has been to see you grow into the man you strived to be . I love you and miss you . Cats in the Cradle My Dad , My Hero .
