You were the best dad I could ask for
You helped me through football
Supported me through everything
Made me laugh even when you were hurting and all the time
I love that I got your sarcasm
I love people calling me mini curt
I wanna be just like you
Your my biggest inspiration dad

It was an honor to work along side him for 10 years. Taught me many things about multiple subjects across work and life. He will not be forgotten. Until we meet again.
