"My dad meant the world to me growing up. He wasn't just my dad, he was my friend. So many good memories together. From winning a championship as the head coach of our minor league baseball team, to our countless fishing trips and to our endless hours of playing video games in the basement. I just hope you are resting easy Dad. Love you so much "
