Hello Dad, 11/24/11
Four years have past since we last saw your face.
Your smile, laugh, hugs, and memories; we'll forever embrace.
Not a single day has passed without thoughts of your passing.
Your wisdom, passions, strength and love will be ever-lasting.
As Thanksgiving approaches, all who love you will continue to be thankful for all the blessings you gave to us. Until we meet again, you are forever sorely missed and loved always.
Good night always and forever.
I love you.

Dearest Dad,
Tomorrow will be three years past, time went by so very fast. A day does not go by that I do not think of you and wonder why you had to go so soon. Jessica and Eddie always talk about you and I cry for you still. We should have talked more, It would have been nice :) May your smile shine down on us forever...and your frown :( We love you and miss you dearly,
Love Sandy, Jessica and Eddie

Dear Ed, it's unbelieveable to me that
that I haven't seen you for three
years. I miss you so much that I
can't begin to tell you. I'll love
you and miss you until I leave this
this world. I wish I could give
you a big kiss right now. We all
have a hole in our heart that will
never go away. God be with you
Ed and know that we love you so much.
I love you Ed your love, Ang

I've recently been transferring some home videos my dad made over the years to DVD. Hearing his voice, listening to his words and seeing him interact with his family, especially his grandchildren, are all reminders of how much he loved us and enjoyed life. My dad will have a special place in my heart always.
your daughter forever, patti

tomorrow (11-24) will be 3 years since you have passed from this earth my dear father yet still i grieve for you sometimes like it was yesterday. you have never left my heart but i would give anything to see you again in the flesh, to hear your wonderful contagious laugh, to kiss your rosy cheek goodnite, to sit and talk w/ you of politics and religion and music and comics, to enjoy the pink stuff & turkey dinner w/ you like we always did. oh dad, how we all miss you so deeply and want you back here w/ us. so often i wonder why did ya have to go so soon ??? we wait patiently behind while you rest in peace beloved father & coach until we meet again @ Glory's most precious of doors ? ? ?
ps -- i will bring the pink stuff !!!

There will be an empty chair at the holiday table this year, but it will be filled with loving memories.

Once you had told me, when you were gone, I'd pick up the pieces , I would go on
There's times when the world
Seems to rest on my shoulder
Not another year wiser
Just another year older
I try to recall
All you had to teach
I probably seemed to
Be way out of reach
Have a firm hand
But a gentle touch
Use force as a tool
Never a crutch
Be hard to shove
Stick out your chest
Be a leader
Never follow the crowd
I realize now how
Right you were
Everyday seems to get harder
Every year is a blur
An old man giving lectures
Is all I had thought
There were lessons to learn
And lessons to be taught
I grasped one here
I grasped one there
As you lectured and preached
While you sat in your chair
I never realized
You were on my side
Even when you
Tanned my hide
I wish I would've listened
More when you were alive
But with all you've left me
I have learned to survive
Love,
Your Son

For those of us who knew him best, and loved him most...he will continue to shape our lives forever. His presence is missed...and he is loved deeply still.

Dear Ed,
The time has gone by so fast...and you are deeply missed by your family and so many friends and relatives. Sometimes I think back to our younger days and remember the fun you, Angie, Pat and I had on that double date. Those were good times. When I think of you, I remember your beaming smile and big hugs. Memories of our family times at South Park for the annual summer picnic and lovely family dinners in your home in Pittsburgh. Thanks, Ed, for those memories.
Love, Mary E

On this Jan. 1st, 2010 Dad, you are in my heart & mind & I miss you so very much.
Nothing is the same without you Dad being here to share it with us. The holidays are always bittersweet without you here Dad. And if I could hear your big hearty laugh or see you smile that warm grand smile of yours or see you hug the grandkids(or even scold them) or see you give mom an endearing hug & kiss or get a thoughtful personalized gift from you just one more time I'd give anything for any of those things Dad. But I do see you often in my dreams & when I awaken I truly feel your presence evermore, strong & real. We all, especially mom & your kids & the grandkids, keep you in front of us always, as you always were in front, leading & making the path straight for us. May you continue to lead us with your strength and your warmth and your love throughout the coming year of 2010. Forever loving you & forever mindful of you, RIP Dad, your loving daughter, Patti

Merry Christmas, Ed (Poppu, Dad, Coach, you wore so many hats!)!!
We know that you're watching over your family, here and across this wide country ; guiding us, as always. We know too that someday we'll all be together again.
Remembering all of those wonderful Christmas dinners in Deer Park, and gathering in the livingroom to share presents and of course your "video box collection" free-for-all.
Your presence is felt throughout the year but especially perhaps as loved ones gather to spend the Christmas holidays together, and your place at the head of the table is always assured.
A great smile.

Gone too soon Ed, but definitely always here with us, ever in our hearts. Not a single day goes by without a warm thought of you. Some lesson or example that informs or touches our lives. A smile remembering a golden moment of the past.
You are one of a kind, and remain forever loved and respected - by your family of course but also by every person fortunate to have known you.

A very sad anniversary today...but I hope we can all take this time to remember the joyful moments, rather than the painful ones. Thanking God for the wonderful father, grandfather, and man he was, for the positive influences he provided, and for his endless guidance. Through his example, I learned how to live life to its fullest, and I will forever be grateful fot that. More than words can say...he was admired and LOVED... and is deeply missed! Mom...you are in my thoughts today(especially), and I am praying for peace in your heart.

I wrote this poem for you tonight Dad on the 2nd anniversary
"Since You've Been Gone"~
I thought of you today Dad
and yesterday and
I will think of you tomorrow the same
Just like I missed you today
I missed you so yesterday
And tomorrow I without fail will miss you again.
I love you more today than
I loved you yesterday and
I will love you even more tomorrow Dad
Since you've been gone
Days seem shorter
Nights fall to dark too soon
No nothing will ever be the same again
Since you've been gone Dad
Alot of times I do get to feeling quite alone
Without your vital presence here in my own life.
Like Tonight I wish you were here at my house sitting there with a book & watching TV & talking about anything at all or just quiet is good too
Like yesterday I wished I could talk to you or
to get an e-mail from you like I always did most everyday or just hear you voice and
then tomorrow I will wish we could laugh together again and wish I could see you and tell you that "I love you" and tell you 'Thanks' for everything you ever gave me and taught me and hoped for me and wished for me
Since you've been gone Dad you see
you really have not been so far off
And until that one precious day when we shall meet again my wish is that I will live alittle harder, think alittle smarter, act alittle bolder, be alittle more adventurous...for you Dad. I will Never say goodbye to you either Dad because...since you've been gone you are now always with me in my heart. forever your daughter, patti

Dear Dad,
Just a note to say hello and good morning again. Today is the second year anniversary of your passing. I want to make sure you knew how much life has changed since you've been gone and how much you are thought of and missed. Nothing seems the same anymore. It's just not the same. But, LIFE does go on, even though it is hard sometimes. We have to get through each day with passions, desires, dreams, values and just plain getting along. Because, LIFE is really just too short to sweat the small the stuff. We never know what will happen so we should live to the fullest each day. I also am glad to tell you that I finally quit smoking for good and I'll dedicate that to you for the rest of my life. I don't miss it at all, but I do miss you everyday. I wish I would have listened to you when you told me not to smoke because of your mother's cancer. Well, we all live and learn. Well the pages may come to an end today; but your life, love and memories will live forever. I am sorry for ever disrespecting you in any way. Well, that's all for now. Until we meet again. Good-bye and Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight
Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight
FOR ALL THE TIMES I DIDN'T SAY GOODNIGHT ESPECIALLY THE LAST TIME!
GOODNIGHT...........RIP.......LOVE YOU.......MISS YOU....RESPECT YOU TOO
Laura #4 and Samantha #2 misses you too. You were like a father to her and I am so sorry that she doesn't have you in her life anymore. You meant so much to her and still do. She loved you so much and still does. GOODNIGHT

Two years is approaching since you left this earth. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you dearly. As Thanksgiving approaches us again, I wanted to express how thankful we all were to have such a smart, strong, responsible and dedicated provider that was there for us whenever something went wrong or right. You were always rough around the edges, but a softy in the middle. Especially as we all got older and you were helping to take care of your grandchildren. As a parent, I now understand why you were the way you were (most of the times anyway)and I am very sorry for hating you for it back then. I really did love you anyway and still do. You loved us all and only wanted the best for us.
Miss you forever. RIP Love, Laura #4
P.S. I tried to say Happy Birthday to you several times back around July 26, but this guest book never put it through for some reason unknown to me.
Happy Belated 69th Birthday!

SO I'LL KEEP WAITING FOR YOUR POSTCARD, AS IT GIVES ME SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO FROM YOU WHILE MY HEART SWELLS AND PAINS ME FROM THE DISTANCE WE SHARE FOR TOO LONG NOW. BUT I WILL WITH TEARS DAD WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE HOME SAFE FROM YOUR LONG TRIP AWAY FROM HOME, FROM MOM, FROM YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR GRANDCHILDREN WHOM ALL MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH. AND YOU'LL HAVE SOME PICTURES TO SHARE, SOME STORIES, SOME SOUVENIRS, SOME JOKES, SOME OF THE LOCAL CURRENCY FROM YOUR TRAVELS, SOME TIDBIT OF FACTS ABOUT THE PLACESE YOU'D TRAVELED...BUT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE A LIFE-TIME THAT YOU'RE AWAY...SO I WANT YOU TO COME HOME SOON DAD... I MISS YOU TOO MUCH NOW AND WE WANT YOU BACK HERE WITH US.
I AM LOVING YOU AND MISSING YOU SOO BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALRIGHT AND THAT GOD IS WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY AND EVEN IF I DON'T EVER GET YOUR POSTCARD I KNOW YOU ARE COMING HOME AS SOON AS YOU CAN!

First Anniversary in Heaven
It seems like only yesterday that we got to see you last.
It's so hard to believe that one whole year has passed -
since we've seen your smile, heard your laugh or felt
your warm embrace.
Losing you is something that is really hard to face.
Our family chain was broken the day we said good-bye.
Even with all the memories, it's so hard not to cry.
Until we meet again--Rest in Peace
We love you and we miss you more than you'll ever know.
Love Always, Angie-Laura-Cindi-Patti-Sandy-Vikki-Eddie
Lindsay, Samantha, Ryan, Jessica, Edward, Grandpap,
Vince, Jim and all who loved you.
Hi Dad,
Happy 1st Birthday in Heaven.
I wrote this little poem for you to express some of my thoughts and feelings. I sent it to your address book so all your friends could remember the day we said good-bye. Many of them responded and appreciated the gesture. We went to Robert Moses Beach to celebrate your life, your spirit and your memory. It was a beautiful sunny day and a wonderful tradition to start, especially at this thankful time of year. I will always be thankful for your strength, your intelligence and ability to forgive and forget. I will always envy your passions in life. If I'm lucky maybe I'll find one for myself someday! Even though we never really saw eye to eye, we loved each other and that's all that matters. Ironically, instead of turning into Mom, I turned into you. You're in my dreams a lot and I actually remember them pretty vividly. Samantha says you are visiting me. Some say you come to help me with something. No matter the reason, it makes things easier sometimes because I feel as though I have felt your presence. That reassures me that there are reasons for everything. Until next time. Rest in Peace. I Love You! Laura

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
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."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
