Josh's father, Daniel, was a quiet, kind, hard-working man. He showed great love to his family and worked multiple jobs at once to provide for them......9 children & his wife. He set a wonderful example for his 7 sons.
Sadly, I didn't get to know him very well. He passed away November 22, 2004. Joshua has shared many stories with me and even does now with Sophia & Abigail, to let us know what his dad was like. Josh and his Dad have the same middle name......pretty special when you are one of seven boys.
Until the paradise when we will get the opportunity to hug him and truly get to know him, we rely on memories. Tears of joy will then be flowing!!
(We didn't get a digital camera until 2007, so I had to rely on finding pictures in old photo albums......so glad to have digital now. Excuse the scanned in quality.)

We thought with sadness of this sad anniversary of his death yesterday. From our point of view, he raised a wonderful son, Joshua. We are so thankful that Dan and Diane raised their children to serve Jehovah! Joshua is a exemplary husband and father and we are blessed to have him be a part of the Courteau family, too! We truly look forward to the day we all celebrate life again for those who are temporarily away from us!..Terry and Don
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice memory page for your father, father-in-law and grand dad. How comforting it is to know that Dan is safe in Jehovah's memory and soon he'll be back to enjoy a beautiful life without any stress, tears and pain with all of his dear family.
