Today I lost my best friend and my idol, and the world lost one of it's finest. I have never known a more kind, loving, hairy, and generous person in my life and I am forever grateful for the light that this man brought to my life and so many others. You will be missed every second of every day. You are a legend and I love you Pops. Until next time.A photo posted by Carter Thicke (@carter_thicke) on Dec 13, 2016 at 8:42pm PST
