He was an incredible man, who valued family above all else. I could always call him after the end of a day - be it to tell him of our Student Academy Award, to difficult patches in my life, where I needed his advice.

He supported my brothers and my dreams, and considering he raised a Cinematographer, Army Captain, and Pharmacist - is just proof of how great of a Dad he is.

My Dad loved my Mom, always being a shining example of how I want to someday carry myself with a future partner. He loved her and his family through every aspect out his life. The truest form of a family man.

I will never be able to list the endless ways I love him and how much I’m going to miss him. From the Indycar races, Butler Basketball games, James Bond marathons, the unlimited yard work, and love for chocolate cake.

When I landed back in Indy this morning and got home, the first thing I noticed was how quiet the house was. My dad was an avid grandfather clock collector, but no one had been home to keep the clocks running. If there’s ever a poetic message on just how precious your time on earth is…I’d say that is it.

I love you and miss you so so so much Dad. ❤️
