In Memory Of My Father

I wanted to do something special to remember my father Guy R. Tilbe

My father died May 28,1987 even today I miss him as much as ever.
So many things have happened and are going to happen to me that he can't be here to participate in, but I know he is with me in spirit.
Everyday I know he's watching over me.

Dad was a man who enjoyed the uncomplicated things in life. He had a great love for animals. As a child I can always remember us having all kinds of critters around. He could not stand to see an animal suffering or be abandoned.
Three of the dogs we had were abandoned and dad welcomed them all as well as a stray cat.
He loved the outdoors and enjoyed to hunt.

My father worked hard to provide for his family, so we could have more growing up than he did. Anything we wanted he tried to get it for us.

My dad was a WW II veteran. He served in the US Army as a mechanic.
He was a member of our local legion.

My father was proud and loved Mom, Dave and myself even if he didn't always say it.

I miss my father today as much as the day he died. A part of my heart was also lost that day.
