A Father's Day Tribute

Since our fathers are no longer with us, we'd like to take this opportunity to honor their memory this Father's Day.


Gary Horton
February 12, 1950-January 6, 1998







































I (Allison) have many fond memories of my dad. He had a quiet and gentle spirit and he had a great sense of humor and loved to joke around. My dad loved music and played the guitar. Some of my favorite memories of my dad include listening & playing music together, the fishing trips we took, learning to ride a bike with my dad's help, and my first trip to Disneyland.


Nathan John Wardrip
December 29, 1954-April 29, 1994


Noah also has many fond memories of his dad. His dad was gentle and caring, intelligent, athletic, and he enjoyed being with his family. Noah remembers playing baseball while his dad coached his Little League team. He also went on a memorable father-son backpacking trip to Bullfrog Lake with his dad. Noah also has fond memories of being his dad's right-hand-man during their home remodeling project.
























Although we both feel a void in our lives without our dads here, we are confident that we'll see them again one day in heaven. Until then, we will continue to honor their memories and think of them with great fondness.


Happy Father's Day to our dads! We miss you both!
