Dad at our house for Easter in 2005.
Giving Grandpa one last hug.
Dad on his way to rest next to Genny.
The Rockwell grandchildren outside the church.
Some of the kids cleaning out Dad's trailer.It is with a heavy heart and a joyful spirit that we announce that Joe's Dad (and mine too) passed on January 31st 2009. We will miss his laugh and most of all his hugs. I thought I would post a wish I made to him at the funeral service.
The Real Father
It is not so common anymore to have a Dad who is really there. One who is the provider for his family.
One who comes home to his family every night. The kind of father whose predictability creates a sense of stability and security in his household.
Dad your routine may not have seemed valuable to you, but it meant the world to your kids.
Those kids will be forever grateful to you because they could depend on you to always be you.
That was a real father. One who was trustworthy and a great deal of things from your example.
Your kids have learned a great deal of things from your example.
They are our living legacy in which I will be eternally grateful to you.
God speed to my father and God-father.
Love,Your other daughter Pam.
