Papa, Uncle Jack, Dad, or simply JD no matter what I were to call him on any given day that fact that he was the most important man in my life will never be a question. He taught me everything I needed in life to succeed, in business and more importantly in love and family. He always helped anyway he could when needed. Whether it were moving down to Saskatchewan with us, to help out on the ranch after the birth of our second daughter, or giving me a swift kick in the butt when I was being stubborn, he always seemed to have the answer. There will never be a day I donâ??t think about him and will miss him dearly until we meet again. You were my dad for 35 years and now you can be my angel for eternity. I love you so much. Sleep well.
