I titled this e-mail My Hero because that is how I
and so many others feel about him. You see he did
not give birth to me but he was my daddy. My mom
and Dean got married when I was 9, and he was
more of a dad to me than my real father. He was a
mentor and father figure to many young men and
women throughout his life.
He died still doing what he loved. He was still
flying helicopters in the gulf. In fact he flew
the day he died. We all thank God that he did not
die in the air or on his way home. He was found 50
yards from our house in the car.
He was a great husband, father and grandfather and
will be greatly miss by all.
I would like to see his name on the honor role so
others may know what a great man he was.
