A beautiful tribute to a beautiful man. Thank you for sharing him with us. Out of all those great stories, I most love how you dreamed of a tree house, and he sketched it out, then built it for you. What a dad!!!

What a beautiful tribute, Cassy--I'm in tears, and I didn't even know him. But I do know you and your incredible gifts and work ethic, and now I know more about where you got them. Your work carries on his presence in the world. My condolences to you and all who knew and loved him.
