It pains me to have to do this again, but I'm sure many of you have heard the news, my father has passed on. I'm trying to raise some funds so I can make my way back home to New Jersey from Tennessee so I can be with my family while we say goodbye to him in a proper way. This means I will have to be away from work, I don't mind the time off to be there, it means the world to me, my current job has just reopened after being down for a month and money isn't coming in quite yet. I'm not asking anyone for much, but anything you can donate to get me home to be with them and spend time giving an amazing man a proper goodbye, I would be forever indebted to you. Those of you who know me, know my dad meant everything to me. Anyone who has ever been able to call him a friend or even be considered family know that he's the strongest, most caring, loving and best man all of us have ever known. He was so important to and loved by so many people. Being involved in so many different walks of life from his time working at the prison, the rescue squad, so many years of coaching baseball, he always looked out for and protected the people around him. It would mean the world to all of us to be together during this time.
