“Even in that day and age, he trusted his children to find their own voice and their own way, never dictating the direction of their lives or careers. We faltered, we fumbled, we picked ourselves up and brushed the dirt off, never giving up the search for our destinies.”, the actor further said.
“What he gave us is what I have always tried to give our children – faith in the power of goodness, dedication to honest hard work, and the courage to weather the storms of their lives… Thank you Papa for the memories and the lessons. You live on in our minds and our hearts, today and always!”, he added.
