Today would have been my dad’s 90th birthday.

It’s hard to believe he’s been gone since 2021, but not a day goes by that I don’t think about him. He lived a full life between Wisconsin and Florida, and wherever he was, he made friends easily.

I’m grateful for the memories, the lessons, and the example he set. Happy 90th Birthday, Dad. You are deeply missed and always remembered. ❤️
