My DAD!

I would like to give a tribute to my dad,

Kenneth Gene Shaffer. November 16, 1946 - April 17, 2008.

My Dad was the most amazing man I have ever met. He was the strongest, most hard-working, giving, honorable man. Not a day will go by that I won't think about or miss my dad. I would like to thank everyone who has been so loving and caring during this difficult time. Thank you to the Orchard Ward who loved him so much and for the love that is continuing to be shown at this time, especially for my mother. She is the strongest woman in the world. We greatly appreciate all the meals, cards, phone calls, and hugs. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, April 24th at the Curtis building next to Borah at 11:00. We invite all who would like to attend to come.

My dad will be missed by more than he knows and ever thought possible. Our lives will never be the same. I am happy with the knowledge to know that he is free of pain and is walking uprightly, the polio will no longer be a bother.

Dad, we love you, we miss you and we look forward to the day that we will be with you once more.

The last picture that was ever taken of my wonderful dad was at Oscar's blessing just 5 days prior to his passing. I love the way Oscar is looking at him. This is the last time I ever saw or spoke to my father. It is a wonderful last memory of him.

I love you DAD!
