To my beloved mother, Eloise Vera Harvey, who was a devoted
Sunday school teacher for forty years. She blessed my heart and
soul with the gift of faith. My faith has been the cornerstone of my
existence and of everything I have overcome and of everything that
I am, and for that I love her so, and I miss her ever more every day.
To my father, whose sole job was to teach me manhood, and that
he did, and he imbued me with an incredible work ethic, for which
I owe him my entire career. Thank you, father.
To Marjorie, my wife, who came along and allowed for everything
that my parents instilled in me to rise to the top. She has been
an inspiration, a motivation. She is the love of my life. She is
much of the reason I am who I am. I love you, girl!
