Heather's dad Dennis passed away this week. I am really sad to see him go but count myself extremely lucky to have known him. He had many afflictions but you never would have known it. I never once heard him complain. He always made sure that I knew he was proud of me and that meant so much to me. I never felt like an in-law in the house. He had an great sense of humor and was the one guy in the house who I could get to laugh at a rowdy joke. He was such a good father to Heather and his other kids and I really admired that about him. I hope that when Emily gets older she feels the same way about me and Heather as we feel about Dennis. I am really going to miss him. It just wasn't the same yesterday when I came in the house and there wasn't a chilled cream soda waiting for me...

Hey Pete! Please tell Heather Billy and I send our condolences to her. Sounds like he was a great man.
I am sorry that you had to go through a funeral. Especially since it was someone so special. I don't know that I could cope as well as you seem to be doing. My deepest sympathies and thoghts are with you.
Hi Pete and Heather,
Your post was really touching. I love the pic of your dad, Heather, holding Em as a baby. What a great picture. You guys have been in my thoughts throughout the last several days. I send my best to you guys and your family.
Thank you guys for your kindness. It has been such a rough week. I'm grateful for good family and friends, such as you, to help us through this icky time. My dad was so awesome. I really miss him.
