Last Friday, January 16th, 2009. Jon's dad, Papa Dale, passed away in his sleep from what they believe was a massive heart attack, he was only 56 years old. They say there was nothing anyone could've done. We've spent a long week saying goodbye to a Dad, a father-in-law and a Papa and a friend. Please keep us in your thought and prayers, especially Jon, his brothers and his mom Joan. This is going to be a long road for all of us. We miss him so much and it's still kind of a shock. Ty is doing well and seems to understand that Papa is in heaven and we won't see him again, but if anyone has any advice I would gladly take it. Jon is having a hard time, which is only expected. He was not only his dad, but a good friend who's advice he always asked for. Hopefully we can keep it together for the kids and our family.
Here is Ty singing the song Papa Dale sang to him and Wyatt from the day they were born(its German)...we have never heard him sing this song until the day he passed away.
