My dad was my hero! He never waivered in anything he ever attempted to do. He never "shirked" a duty when it called. He done anything for everybody even when he physically couldn't. He told me and my brother to always give 100% at anything. Most of all, he took me to church and brought me to know Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour. He will definitely be missed in our beat here on earth. But he is now walking his beat on the streets of pure gold. Dad your legacy will live on through the millions you touched here...
