Today marks the 60th birthday of the best father-in-law I could ask for. Although his days were cut short as God called him home, we celebrate the amazing life he lived.

Thank you for raising the man of my dreams and teaching him to be a loving friend, husband and one day father just like you. Thank you for all the laughs and smiles you brought to our faces. Thank you for sharing every part of your life and showing us who you really were.

I wish we could have more days to let you know how much we love you, to share more memories and laugh together. But our Father called you home to live in eternal happiness. I know one day we’ll all be reunited. For now, we’ll remember you as you were; full of life and full of love.

Happy 60th birthday Big Al! You will always be loved and never forgotten.
