Two things that always stuck with me that I learned from my Dad were "Always do your best" and "Respect your Mother". A great man who always puts family first. Also taught me to fish. My earliest memories as a child are fishing with him and my grandfather(his Dad). My grandfather made all his own lures and poles. The three of us would make rubber worms, catch cray fish and go fishing. My grandfather passed when I was 5 so it's amazing I still remember those times. I'm 44 now!
