You were sensational! You were kind, disciplined, happy, fun, and strong. Your skill and talent in artistry, drawing, painting, building, craftsman, love for music, industrial arts, and vocational printing and layout is so very special and you have made me what I am today. Your sensationalism has been felt in your family, friends, students, and colleagues. I honor you with all my Heart - daddy. I know you'd be proud of this website fdsh1980.com.
P.S. I miss playing the piano with you while you played the harmonica with me next to the fireplace at home. And thank you for teaching me about Jesus; the words and truth in the bible. I, also thank you, for teaching me in seeing and understanding that everyone deserving of earth has some kind of faith deep in their souls.
