In loving memory of our beloved father, Fred Dellen, on his ninetieth birthday.

A father is the one who takes such pride in all you do.

The one you know is on your side

and wants to see you through,

The one who kindly reassures...

The one whose time is always yours.

A Father is the one who cares for what you have to say

The one whose gentle words have often brightened up a day,

The one whose quiet strength endures...

The one whose love is always yours.

You gave so much of yourself so often

without expecting anything in return.

You were all of these and more.

You are missed more than words can say.
