Dad,

Happy second anniversary in Heaven. Can't believe it's been two years since God ended your pain and took you home.

I've found myself giving Brendan much of the same advice you gave me as a child. I was truly fortunate to have you as my father. Took Brendan to his first drag race and car show a few weeks ago. He loved it. It was just the two of us--father and son. Reminded me of the times just the two of us did things together. God, how I miss that!

My life is changing for the better and I'm glad you and Mom are still keeping an eye on me. Thank you.

Love,
Ron

Dad,

Happy Birthday! Still miss you as much as ever. I never got a chance to say thank you to you and Mom for watching over me in November. I hope today is another in a long line of great days for you!

Love,
Ron

Dad,

Happy first anniversary in Heaven. I still miss you as much if not more now as the day God took you.

You always think that there's going to be more time to do the things you want to do or say but it's not true.

On a lighter note, just wondering if you took up dancing being that you're all healed up now?! Just had to ask!

Love,
Ron

Dad, we miss you! I came across this and had to share.

"Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.”

People say it gets easier but that is not true. A few things are helping. One of them is memories, which bring us comfort. The other one is your grandson; he said something the other day. I shared it with Ron, we both giggled. Your son said, "That's his Grandpa 100%!” We all had a moment that will never be forgotten because of YOU!
Love,
Billie Ann

I hope you had a beautiful birthday in heaven. You are missed very much. I know you and my sister, Alana, are happy you are together.

Happy Birthday Dad! I know that Mom must have made your favorite with ice cream on top. On this day I hope you and your special girl went for a nice drive with the top down. We miss you so much!

Happy Birthday in Heaven, Dad. This is one you can really enjoy with Mom and both of you are free of all your pain. Enjoy! Love, Ron

Father's Day was not the same without you, Dad. We all miss you so much. There are so many important things I now realize to being a good father. Thank you for all the great examples. Now I know why you always said you "wanted no bills" when we asked you what you wanted on any gift giving occasion. You just wanted to be with your family. That was the best gift of all. I finally get it. Love, Ron

Ron - I miss you and think of you often. Group is not the same without you and I can still picture you sitting in the same chair every week. By now you must know how many lives you have touched! I know that you are happy with your beautiful wife Alana. God could not keep you two apart! Love - Joanne Sabol

We miss you so much Dad. Your son has had to fix several thing in our home but you know that. He looks to pick up the phone and call for assistance. I know in my heart that you are watching over him because with each twist of a wrench he has his angel guiding him in the right direction. God bless you always! We miss you so much DAD.

You have taught me a lot over the years. Whether it was home repair projects or life in general, the lessons will be remembered forever.

You taught me to Hurry up and wait, things are just duckie and yes this does suck.

You were and always will be an inspiration to us all and will be deeply missed.

My father was the pillar of patience. Whether it be with our family or his job, he never let anyone or anything get to him. He wouldn't even let cancer get to him, emotionally. While my father worked a lot of hours, he always made time for me. Even when he was dead tired, he made time for me. I could always count on him, always there for me. He always told me, "Family first because when your friends aren't around, all you have is your family." He really made providing for his family his life. It took me a long time to really understand and appreciate that and why he was doing it. He had a work ethic second to none. He seemed to know how to fix anything! I don't know who I'm going to call now when I need to figure out how to fix something. You were such a great Dad. I was so lucky to be your son. I'm really going to miss you.

So very sorry to hear of both Ron and Alana's passing, particluarly in the same week. I can't begin to know how the family is managing through all of this. I regret not having begun attending the oncology support group at Huntington Hospital sooner so as to have had the opportunity to know about Ron and his family better; I only recall seeing he and his daughter at several dinner get-togethers. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I will always remeber the fun times at Makamah. The July 4th parties and fishing on the beach. Although I was young, these memories I will never forget. Your family will be in our hearts and prayers through this difficult time.

Hello Ron. I wish I'd know you longer, and I'm sad that are no longer with us, but I can take comfort in the fact that you are finally free of your pain. I know how hard it must have been to wear a grin all those Wednesday nights at the hospital, but your smiles helped me to keep smiling.
I'll miss you.
Sincerely,

Dorian Caccamo

My dad was a very patient and caring person. He always gave and never expected anything in return. I will never forget his courage and determination. I will miss being his little girl.
