He was like a super hero, he had the ability to get the best out of you day in and day out. I’m gonna miss you hugs. I’m gonna miss your advice. I’m gonna miss your smile, and I’m gonna miss your laugh. I know you’re looking down at us right now giving us the green light to move forward. I miss you Daddy. I’ll love you forever-Your youngest,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself with his dad drinking milkshakes together.
