He was the Best Grandpa anyone could ask for! Never will forget going with him to do his horses and going on hikes, dinner was always done before we got home from school, we would smell it coming home🥰 so much to cherish and hold dear our hearts! I Love You My Papa & Miss You tremendously♥️
I have so many heartfelt, important, meaningful memories... As an adult, The most important memories are to love JESUS, (with all your heart mind and soul) so our children will carry on this Spiritual Armour and Deep Honest Respect for life, Marriage and the respect to be a FAITHFUL SPOUSE. And then Daddy would always say something funny, making us Crack up... He was always telling jokes or sharing the funniest videos. Sharing the most recent "ono meals" mommy, cooked for him. Always saying " mommy is such a wonderful cook."
WE YOU DADDY FOREVER!
There are many memories that I have of my father in law Douglas Souza, but I will start with the very first one I have. I started dating Doreen (his ‘baby’ girl lol) and my future wife. The very first time I met him was when he came to pick her up from spending time with me at my Parents house. He pulled up in his baby blue chevy pick up truck and Doreen introduce him to me. She said ‘Daddy this is Billy’…. All he did was slowly turn his head toward me barely, just barely enough to get a glimpse of me and said ‘What’s up Cappy’ and turned his head back to looking forward… (gulp)… Now if your from our hometown in those years you knew that was a very on the edge kind of response you could say. That was the begging. Of course over the years and as time goes by I developed a good relationship with him. He was a Mans, man. We say old school nowadays. He was a man of his word. There are some who knew him as a fighter but he was more than that & the more time you spent with him the more you understood where that came from. He LOVED his family. He worked hard for them making sure they had all that they needed. He LOVED His wife Eleanor. She is a rock to him and his biggest supporter. He LOVED his Daughters. Beautiful girls & a beautiful family. He was their protector & provider. When you are surrounded by a loving family you have to protect it. And to me thats where that fighting spirit comes from. He was much more than that though. He loved God. He loved Jesus. God shaped and molded him into the Man who would always witness and share the love of Christ with anyone he came across, anyone who would take the time and listen to what he would share. He made an impact on people & he would be the first to praise and thank God over everything and everyone. He was a PRAYER WARRIOR! and not just for his family but the church, friends & for those who received the lord in their life by his witnessing and scripture verses he had given them. He would carry what we call tracts or cards with verses on it. And if he met someone he didn’t know he would pull out a tract that god inspired him to give.
I will miss him. We all miss him already! The legacy and impact he left on all of us will be felt for a while Im sure. But we KNOW where he is & we know who he is with. The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! For ever and ALWAYS!! Love you Doug!
