64 years ago today, this guy entered the world. 7 months ago today, he left it. dad did always say he was a numbers guy. as for me, i couldn’t begin to count the number of times i’ve gone to text you with a funny story or that i went to call you with big news… or (even more likely) with some question like “remind me again how many inches a stud is from a wall outlet?” or “why does my AC keep breaking when i put the temperate down to 60°?”. your guess is as good as mine for how many times i’ve forgotten you’re not here, however, and i hate to admit (but you would LOVE), that i can say i’ve said “my dad did those condos”, a solid 187 times. but most of all, there’s no way i could ever put a number to the amount of times i looked over to whoever i was with and said “dad would love this.” today, kenny and i have the top down and doors off the bronco, driving up and down the florida coast, playing your favorite songs and taking the long way (like, seriously… kenny didn’t turn around until we got to port saint lucie)... this was one of your favorite things to do, i wish you were here. you would love this. today, mom, chloe and carly are together in portland at chloe and shawn’s new house. they’re doing all the projects that they certainly could use you for… nobody loved putting up shelves and mounting tv’s more than you… yes, cause you were handy- but i know it’s cause it was another way you took care of your girls. i know they wish you were there. you would’ve loved it. today, 24 years ago we took this picture for your 40th. you had carrot cake and played cribbage. you loved it. so yea, i may not be a numbers guy, but my dad was. so i‘ll hold on to that. happy birthday dad. we really miss you. tons & tons.💚 #thewilliefund
