Grandpa Damon,
I enjoyed seeing you last summer and am grateful you were able to meet your 2 great-grand sons. I wish they would have gotten to know you better...me too. I will miss you.
Love,
Lisa Williams

Dear Friends and Family:
Uncle Damon will be missed! My mother and Damon's sister, Beverly Wassaf, loved him and is glad he has finally found peace. She is sorry she can't make the trip for the service. Damon was 7 years older and she wished they could have been closer in life. She hopes to reunite with him one day in heaven!
We love you Damon!

May God bless you Dad.
I remember as does Paula, summers at the 'cottage' in Farmington, Maine. Blueberry pancakes, strawberry short cake, the smells of wood burning in the fireplace, canoeing, swimming in the extremely cold Clearwater Lake are very happy memories. I remember the bats in the boat house and the loons.
One of the fondest memories I have was when Dad bought me a photographer kit with a Brownie camera to take pictures and develop them in his dark room. It was an excellent way to bond with me.
I love you Dad,
Laura

To my Uncle Damon and his Family:
I have so many good memories of my Uncle Damon growing up. He would come down to my grandfather's house in Fla when I was a young girl. He was so tall and thin. I would stare at his neck because he had a big adams apple. One day he told me he had swallowed a stick and that is why his neck stuck out so far. I never forgot that and it stuck with me until I knew better. We would spend a lot of time up at our summer home in Farmington, Me with his giant St. Bernard named Neil who tried to bit anyone water skiing off the boat deck. He loved to drive big campers. He lived life big and will be missed. My prayers go out to his wife, Mary and all his children, my cousins-Laura, Stuart, Robin, Walter. Rest in peace Uncle Damon
