Euology - Dale

My father’s eulogy…I never imagined I’d be writing this for a long time to come but here we are.  As most of you know, dad was a funny guy that liked to tell his jokes and find some humor in many situations. I remember years ago, dad carried around a small card in his pocket with some jokes that he heard while at work or having his daily coffee at Horton’s, he loved his jokes.
 
Joking aside, I would like to mention that dad was a family man; always has been and always would be and I admired that the most about him. There was never any question that if my Brother George, myself, or my kids needed help he would be there ready to go; his loyalty to us was unquestionable. Dad really stepped up to the plate during my mother’s recent battle with cancer when he looked after her personal needs without any question. What he did for her for over a year and didn’t mention it or ask for any recognition was something that I will always hold in great regard. His love for my mother, for whom he was rarely seen without, was just that deep.
 
Dad Had other passions aside from his family, most notably was photography.  He used that passion to document everything from family moments, weddings, landmarks around Brockville, to field trips and events from organizations he was involved in. He loved to get a picture of just about everything he saw. I guess he just loved the life that he was living and weather he was dealt a good hand or a bad hand he was always smiling behind his camera.
 
life in a paragraph or two is next to impossible, but from my earliest memories of dad to his last moments while I was at his side, I have a plethora of memories that I will cherish as long as I can remember them and to be a man that resembles my dad in any way.
