Then one after another, people told stories from their hearts, while Dad listened with tears in eyes.Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldt wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many hundreds of people in his life, here was our chance to tell him how much we love him.
