Jonathon Robert DeToy

Reading my brothers and sisters synopsis of our father I believe there is no need to add any more to which they have so eloquently professed.   These testimonials stand for me as a most fitting tribute to this man who raised seven children to adulthood all the while earning their utmost respect and love.
Of course this was accomplished with the constant support and love of our mother.   You can barely think of one without the other. Their love and relationship has shown all of us an ideal of parenthood and spirituality for the two are truly one in many ways. Together they nurtured a feeling of acceptance and love in our family.
They respected every child and our differences. They gave us the support and belief that we could be anything we wanted to be.
As I look upon the writings of my brothers and sisters, I think about the unique men and women they have become. I am overwhelmed with love and pride . They are what I see when I think of Robert John DeToy, for he lives in his children . I know he lives in me. Dad, I love you with all my heart and soul.
