Dad,
You were remembered today by your Mason Brothers. The service was fitting and will be remembered by all who attended.
Your physical remains are now in their final resting place. Your spiritual remains have been sent to a much higher place.
The memories that I hold of you will always be where they are right now, in my heart. Your laughter will be missed. Your sage advice will be remembered. Your love will be felt forever. You will not disappear completely from this earth until the last person who ever knew of you no longer exists.
Thank you and Good bye

To the Glidden family,
You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Your Dad will be sadly missed. The memories I will always remember are the stories that Ralph could tell. Then add that laugh of his. You couldn't help but join in. I can hear him now!! I know I have a great picture of one of my boys and him in a hammock at Black Lake. I'm sure telling them a story or was he trying to get them to take a nap??? Thanks for the memories Ralph!!!!

I am thinking that you are with my dad (Carl Gartz) right now having fun and telling those funny stories you guys use to tell. One of my favorites is of a christmas where you guys were drinking and my dad fell asleep or passed out under the christmas tree. Thanks for the memories and Love to you.

Dear Grammie, Dad, Ralph & Bonnie,
I am so sorry for your loss and so glad that I was back in my Grandpa's life if for only a short while. I will always remember him as one of the kindest people on this earth. I know how much he cared for me and his family and people in general. He was one of a kind and will always be in my heart. LOVE HIS GRANDAUGHTER

Grandpie:
I can see you trying to tell a story. We are laughing before you even get to the end, because you are laughing, taking your glasses off to wipe the tears away! Carson will never forget story about the candy you stole as a kid. We love you and miss you. Stay out of trouble up there!
