I will always picture your dad with a twinkle in his eye. He was an amazing individual who taught his children (and their families) so well how to live life fully alongside his loving wife. From encouraging Kim to take shop (back when that just started to be "allowed"), laughing at the antics of "Jack and Doug" who planted flamingos in his yard, or teasing me at your dinner table for saying "No thank you, thank you anyway" to vegetables, your dad didn't miss a chance to delight in the people that filled his life. I will always think of him as part of a beautiful pair with Mrs. Gheysen, and I'm so grateful that I had the chance to see them both together last year. He has left an inspiring legacy to carry forth his unique qualities into the world through his children and grandchildren. I'm so grateful that I knew him.
With love to you all, Kristi, John, Declan and Talia xoxo
