This is dedicated to: Tom Sr., Chuck , Terry, Tommy, John, Don, Ken, Rob, Brian, Perry, Scott, and Clayton.  

I have witnessed firsthand the relentless love and unwavering support you instinctually give your children. Your dedication as fathers will make us better parents, which in turn will make our children better parents and so on. You have changed the face of the world by being available to your children.

On behalf of Diane, Kathy, Tommy, Terry, myself, Charlie, Theresa, Alex, Sam, Jamie, Sean, Kevin, Kalle, Donald, Carter, Jonah, Vitale, Kimberly, Jon, Jeremy, Julie, Jake, Addie, Wes, Liam, Jia & Bella…thank you for being active, involved fathers that make us kind, strong, balanced humans.
