In 2018, after marrying your son, you met me at lafarge lake, we sat on the steps near the amphitheater...me bawling my eyes out. My dad had just passed away and I was in the darkest place of my life. You let me cry, you listened to me and you told me "if you ever need dad advice, I'm here to be your dad". You told me we were family and gave me the most giant hug. I felt relieved knowing that I could turn to you
You always stayed true to that. You gave me advice, always listened to me and advised me how my own dad would have. You complimented my cooking at family gatherings and helping me cook like dad would (and you loved eating it). You always made me feel like I was a part of the Kozak family, right until the end.
This is a huge loss. You were incredible, kind, generous, giving and you raised Christian to be a wonderful man. I wish I could have been home to say goodbye in person but I treasure that last phone call we had together.....where this time, we both cried.
Say hi to dad for me in the way we discussed (over a kraken and dr pepper)
Rest easy papa D. I know we will see you again one day. All our love to the Kozak family during this tough time.
