"Dear Violet and Rodney -Mom and dad shared the sad news that Paul passed away last week. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and know I'm thinking about you and praying that God sends you peace and comfort as you grieve his passing.At the same time the sad message arrived, it also brought back very fond and vivid memories of what a great dad you had Rodney. He built (we sort-of helped) the absolute very best tree house a young boy could ever dream of. It was complete with a trap door, a prop-open window and you to had to be Army-tough to climb the knotted rope to gain access.Your dad taught me how to shoot a BB gun and I lived for the summer days when he would set up the range in your back yard so we could shoot tin cans. And then we'd take off to ride bikes on the "back road" or head to Miller's woods or Horseman's creek. Our adventures were always pre-approved but there was never a doubt when it was time to come home. Your dad would position his thumb and middle finger in the shape of a "C" and then bring it close to his lips and let go of the most ear-piercing whistle the human ear could handle. It could be heard throughout Sunset Hills and it was a clear call to action! It meant Violet had prepared another home cooked dinner and you had about two minutes to have your rear-end standing on the back porch - ready to wash up and take a seat at the table. Your dad was disciplined, serious and kind - all at the same time.It was also an incredible treat when I got to bring my cane pole and bobber to go fishing with you and your dad. Even though i wasn't sure I was allowed to participate in the three way bet (first, biggest, most) I loved every minute of it! What a great father and awesome husband!I'm sorry I'm not able to deliver this message in person but want you to know I'm thinking about both of you! I'm also happy to know Paul is safely home to spend eternity with Jesus. Love, Davey "
