We are overwhelmed and doing our best to prepare for tomorrow while keeping life steady for the girls and handling everything with the bar. Thank you to everyone who has reached out, sent flowers, packages, and support. Your kindness has carried us through some very hard days.
We’re trying to piece together too much information in some areas and not enough in others. But the hardest part is the girls — the gut‑wrenching pain we feel is doubled when we think about how they’re trying to make sense of something they’ve never experienced. We know what’s coming. They don’t. Please keep them in your hearts right now.
His service will be Saturday at Dobies Funeral Home on Hudson Ave from 5–8 PM.
The Honor Guard will take place at 7 PM.
We will have a slideshow and viewing, and anyone who wishes to speak is welcome.
After the service, The Tipsy Clover (15915 US Hwy 19) will open at 7:45 PM for friends and family to gather. We’ll have food available, and anyone who wants to bring something can bring it to the bar after 7:45.
All drinks will be $3, and a donation box will be set up for the grandbabies.
He poured himself into this bar. He wanted it to be something special for first responders. We had plans for football season and pool leagues, and I wanted this place to be for him and the girls. Time didn’t allow that, but we want everyone to see the dream he was building.
Thank you for standing with us during the hardest days of our lives.
