My Dad
Although the funeral home did a decent job capturing our dad, they did not catch all he was.
It would be a book. And yes, maybe someday we'll write it.
Dad was married twice. He raised 6 children. Attended 3 of their weddings. Held all 7 grandchildren and his one great granddaughter in his arms as often as he could.
Most of all he taught his children everything he could. If he was laying a cinderblock foundation, we were learning. Shingling a roof, we were nailing.
He BUILT a low profile beautiful speed boat, no kit, no prefab.
His ability to learn and master skills never stopped.
This attribute is evident in his eldest son, Paul Kingston, my son, Patrick Ryan, and it's looking like his great granddaughter, Serenity.
It's likely Scott Kingston and Michael Kingston also share this. It's a shame we don't know each other better. It's what Dad wanted.
His legacy is one of passing on his knowledge and his brand of fierce love to his children.
Paul Kingston prepared his children to face life successfully.
We are a cocky bunch because Dad loved us so unconditionally, showed us we could do anything we set our sights on. Right? Meghan Kingston
I have passed this legacy of sharing knowledge and love unto my children and grandchildren.
Here is where we pick up the torch and continue the good parts.
Thank you Dad, big man, big void.
