I have so many memories of Connie its hard to pick one.Shawn and I have been best friends since before we were in school and we pretty much spent everyday together when we were growing up so i got to know Connie very well.I remember him always singing and joking around.He had a great sense of humor made me laugh every time i saw him.He taught me a lot over the years and i thank him for that.I love you Shawn,Dawn and Trav and i'll miss your pops too.
MY MEMERIES OF MY POPS WERE ALL THE GOOD TIMES WE SPENT TOGETHER, RIDING OUR FOURWHEELERS AROUND THE JUNKYARD AND OUR CAMPGROND, AND COOKING OUT. HIS FAVORITE WAS T BONE STEAKS ON THE GRILL, RIDING AROUND THE LEVY AND ALL THE TRAILS. SEEING ALL THE WILDLIFE, WHILE RIDING.DUCKS,BABYDUCKS,GEESE,BABYGEESE,HE EVEN CAUGHT A BABY GOOSE ONCE AND KEPT IT.DEERS,FAWNS AND BALD EAGLES HE LOVED IT BACK THERE. ME TRAV AND JAKE GOT TO ENJOY ALL THOSE SPECIAL TIMES WITH HIM AND THINGS HE LIKED TO DO AS WELL. IT MEANT ALOT TO US. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR HIM THROUGH GOOD AND BAD. NO REGRETS HE WAS A STONG WILLED MAN, SET IN HIS WAYS, ONE OF A KIND. HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART AND NEVER FORGOTTON HE MEANT THE WORLD TO US AND HE KNEW IT. WE LOVE YOU POPS THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOUVE DONE
It is hard for me to share one great memory. I can think of many...many good ones. I will say this, he was one who made sure you had everything you needed, most of what you wanted, and always, all of his love. He achieved anything that he put his mind to. He had the plan, and Shawn & I to execute it. I have never met a man in 35 years who was as generous as my dad. He helped many people along his journey. He always told us "Whats mine is yours". It occurred to me one day he never worked that hard for his self, but for us. I look back and see he always wanted the best for me. Dad and I may not of agreed on everything, but he taught me to think things through, to care, and do whats right. "Treat people like you want to be treated" he would say. Dad lived a 100 years in 64 years. I love you dad.
I rember hanging out with dad at grandmas house making biscuits and playing in the yard,going to garage sales,the junk yard and the trip we took to the state fair. I would give anything for another day or just a moment with him. He was a kind and loving man and will be missed. See you when i get ther dad!
