My dad was always so sweet and I remember he would always be willing to help whenever he could, he always knew how to put a smile on Mt face. One of my favorite memories is when he would tell me stories on the phone and then tell me the same stories again. I always loved spending time with him. He always spoiled me even when he didn’t have much money. I love him so much and I really miss him
So sorry for you and keltons loss
