I will never forget his laugh and his paint covered glasses. We shared a lot of good times together and we were both Viet Nam vets. He was also the only one that could ever have taught me how to shoot his favorite game of darts. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Memories will live on, in our minds. The many times that Jeanne & I would visit with Corrine and Eugene, Jeanne would go off with Corrine and Eugene and I would sit down and get into the classic westerns. Great guy with a fantastic personality. I take comfort for I know that he is with our Father.
Love, John & Jeanne

You are all in my prayers. May you all be blessed with loving memories always.

"What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us." Helen Keller

"I would say to those who mourn... look upon each day that comes as a challenge, as a test of courage. The pain will come in waves, some days worse than others, for no apparent reason. Accept the pain. Do not suppress it. Never attempt to hide grief." Daphne du Maurier

Papa, I greatly miss you and wish I had one last day with you. One last day to play a game of UNO, one last day to joke about mama's hearing, one last to watch a movie together, and one last day to say my goodbyes. I may not get that one last day, but at least I will get the memories I share with you. I love you and will joke with you again one day.

Love,
Corey Your Grandson
