My dad was fun to hang out with. I enjoyed long road trips, singing and laughing the whole way. Cooking together in the kitchen and staying up late playing video games. He wasn't just my dad, he was my friend.
From Shawn Kieley- My best memory is when he was working at the driving range and I used to tag along and help out. We got to spend time working, laughing, getting stuff done and he always set a high standard. He always said you don't have a second chance to make a good first impression and then it falls back to consistency. I would watch him consistently work at that driving range. I've always felt appreciative of that because it's followed me throughout life. Even when I was in the military I used to outwork a lot of people who just wanted to scrape by rather than keep a high standard for the work. This gave me peaceful rest for doing an honest day's work.
