Dad its been almost 12 years since youve been gone. I think of you often and have many happy memories of you!
Many family members have joined you since your passing, including your son Tommy and 4 son in laws, Barry, Richard, Domenic and Donald. Both of my parent in laws, Yolanda and Dom are also gone from this life. My hope is that you are all together and watching over your huge family. All of your daughters get together often and share stories and laugh about many happy memories of our childhood. I love you and miss your laughter. You were always a great Dad and wonderful provider. Rest In Peace Dad❤

I'm sorry that we didn't spend much time together but I hope you know that you were always in my heart and I love you. I wish you got to meet your Great granddaughter Alexa, but one day I will tell her all about you.
Bless you for fathering 9 children and staying sane through it all, I know my mother gave you a run for your money all by herself! Say hello to my Grandmother that I never met and make sure Eddie stays out of trouble. We will miss you!!
Love, Andrea

There once was a man named Carl Sawyer he provided for his nine children. He wasn't a doctor or lawyer, so he worked hard most of the time. Later in life Carl lost his first wife and had to go by himself. He felt all alone most of the children were grown so he put his life on a shelf, he then met a woman who perked up his life, he decided he loved her and made her his wife. Later again life wasn't so kind, Carl's health took a turn and stole this man's mind. The memories he lost you all will retain the love in your hearts is where they will remain. Rest on Carl Dennis LaMarco

Mr. Sawyer,
Sir, I didn't know you but as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC during WW II. It was the history and accomplishments that you and your fellow Marines made in WW II that all of us Marines who have followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dad, I know you are in heaven, that's without a doubt.Those you left behind, can hear the angels shout. I know that Agnes greeted you and stretched out her hand, while Gerry's honoring you and grieving the loss of her Man. Eddie's glad to see you,a fresh start to begin anew. I can feel your smiles, while my heart is torn in two. I will cry and I will grieve, knowing a reunion will someday come to be. Milky Ways and Cheez-its forever!!!
