This is the first Father’s Day without my grandfather. My dad passed away in 2019. Life without them is strange and celebrating Father’s Day is a little painful. I celebrate their love for me and for being my heroes in my life forever. To Gary Burgess and Leon Webb, I say Happy Father’s Day. I miss you both.

This is me as a wee lad with my father’s father Jay Beecher Burgess. He passed away in 1985. I have been without him for a long time. I miss him.
