A kind man and great father,definatley the best dam tradesman (electrician) I ever had the pleasure & honor to work with.

My father's favourite song....

[color:"black"]Please don't bury me

John Prine

"Woke up this morning

Put on my slippers

Walked in the kitchen and died

And oh what a feeling!

When my soul

Went thru the ceiling

And on up into heaven I did ride

When I got there they did say

John, it happened this way

You slipped upon the floor

And hit your head

And all the angels say

Just before you passed away

These were the very last words

That you said:

Chorus:

Please don't bury me

Down in that cold cold ground

No, I'd rather have "em" cut me up

And pass me all around

Throw my brain in a hurricane

And the blind can have my eyes

And the deaf can take both of my ears

If they don't mind the size

Give my stomach to Milwaukee

If they run out of beer

Put my socks in a cedar box

Just get "em" out of here

Venus de Milo can have my arms

Look out! I've got your nose

Sell my heart to the junkman

And give my love to Rose

Repeat Chorus

Give my feet to the footloose

Careless, fancy free

Give my knees to the needy

Don't pull that stuff on me

Hand me down my walking cane

It's a sin to tell a lie

Send my mouth way down south

And kiss my ass goodbye"

Happy fathers day & thank you.

Rum & cokes chased with Labatts blue in your honor tonight.

Miss ya old man.

Greg you've read my mind. Father's day can be hard sometimes, but as time goes on it does get easier. Love will always grow bigger and stronger and better than pain. One day we will be reunited and all there will be is love, and the only thing I will have to mourn is the time I spent grieving. I loved my dad more than anyone else, and miss him very much. Happy fathers day everyone!

My dad's theme song: "Ironman" by Black Sabbath. Wow, just read the lyrics for the first time ever, and heh, it's a bit morbid, but then again, so was he.

Has he lost his mind?

Can he see or is he blind?

Can he walk at all,

Or if he moves will he fall?

Is he alive or dead?

Has he thoughts within his head?

We’ll just pass him there

Why should we even care?

He was turned to steel

In the great magnetic field

Where he traveled time

For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him

He just stares at the world

Planning his vengeance

That he will soon unfold

Now the time is here

For iron man to spread fear

Vengeance from the grave

Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him

They just turn their heads

Nobody helps him

Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead

Fills his victims full of dread

Running as fast as they can

Iron man lives again!
