Preston "Dad" loved to camp, boat, and be with family. He empowered us to ask questions, establish a work ethic, and have empathy in every situation of our lives. As a "PaPa" he could easily be found hanging with his grand babies watching Lion King, boohooing for the 1000th time or quoting Star Wars, as he knows Han shot first. From his favorite movie Braveheart William Wallace said, "Every man dies, not every man truly lives." We know you did Dad, so give Mom and Aiden a hug. We won't live a day without your lasting impressions on our lives. We love you Dad.
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
The family is planning a Celebration of Life for Preston.
