For Dad, Poppa and Uncle Dean.

Dean D. King September 10, 1938 — June 11, 2009

The advice, your laughter,

you were always sharing,

easy hours of talking,

your steady love and caring.

Reaching for the phone,

so melancholy when

we realize you won't be

answering there again.

So very often needed,

missed in every place,

memories tho precious,

can't fill the empty space.

We love and miss you,

hoping the message clear,

time has not stopped us

wishing you were here.
