Arlington, TX Saturday, April 4, 2020 More than a Step Dad, because you stepped up to fill the shoes of dad. You in my life when I was an adult, thinking I didn't need a dad but you proved me wrong. The genuine support and love you displayed consistently to me and my siblings never wavered. I was blessed to have you in my life. Thank you for loving us. Loving and protecting our mother. Also being the best brother in law and son in law anyone could have. Your presence will missed but I find comfort knowing that you knew you were undoubtedly loved.ROBERT LEWIS
