Bill Freind

Thanks for the memory. On April 22 My first glance at you. I looked and looked. And I was hooked. I’d love you all life through. How cute you were then Thanks for the memory. When you were just a tyke You found the sports you like. Football, stickball, Bball But you couldn’t ride a bike. Retarded you were. Chorus Oh, what a family we had. A wonderful mother and dad. The best parents anyone had. We proudly state Our life was great And thanks for the memory. Our parties Saturday night No one else in sight. Snacks, and games and lots of fun The four of us so tight How lucky we were. And thanks for the memory. Our summers by the Sea. In Courthouse and AC We’d rent some rafts And ride the waves. As happy as can be We had so much fun Thanks for the memory The boats Dad bought were neat The first one 14 feet With 16 horse You know, of course That tub was never fleet. All boats passed us by Chorus At school work, you always did well. From the start, you began to excel A free ride to Malvern was swell And then VU Gave you one too. Thanks for the memory. Snow cutting through the gloom We’d lie in our bedroom Electric sparks. From train wheels Would illuminate our room We felt safe and warm. Thanks for the memory. Don Kerr was your best friend. You loved him to the end Your wandering-off adventures And the joyous times you spend. You still miss him so Thanks for the memory The Last Tags 1 & 2 And now the Princess too Children and Grandchildren How they love to flock to you Your smile never stops Chorus Good Friday, it’s our one-on-one. You’re winning and having great fun. I roar back and, guess what, I won. You yelled “#### you” The nuns heard too Finale Chorus So, thanks for the memory. You really are the best, So far above the rest Father son and husband. Perfect Dad to all your nest We will always love you Till the day you come to rest And thank you so much
