There's Ashley, Huggin hugging daddy. Mrs New Year's January 1st, 1992.

And what was he like personality-wise growing up?

He was my favorite person in the world and he was also always

telling dad jokes. He was incredibly thoughtful in a really sweet and dorky kind of way. He worked in the car business

so he always drove a super cool car and he drove around listening to whatever

He was also an impeccable dresser, always put together.
