Dad,
I'm writing to you again because the book ends tomorrow. I'll always love you and Mom, and I'll never forget you both. We all had good times with the two of you at Christmas and at family picnics. Nothing will be the same with out you. Dad, I'm still watching your Yankees, and Mom, I'm still going to bingo. Finally, being with each, I know it is beautiful.
Love you with all my heart,

as this book will close, it will close on the story of what a wonderful man and father he was. And what will be called his "reason to believe."A man who taught us to find meaning in life and how to build a house of meaning in life which we all live in today. This was a man of integrity,knowledge, smart, talanted with astonishing wisdom. a man who said that in life there was no majic pills, no cures, no simple answers,no round trip to utopia, but in fact many of todays hard choices were made by past attempts at easy answers. If we all looked and examined the facts and guard against such irrelevance that we could make real progress in life so that we would be a stronger,more united and prosperous family. A father who taught us always to move more vigorusly and securely and always in the right direction and to move forward and faster never backward and always to remember that the yesterdays are the histories tomorrows are the mysteries and always accept each day as a gift. A father who gave us a name, strength and many reasons to work together to continuosly yeild for positive changes and never to preach, but only to practice the virtues and values we all cherish to express them, reaffirm them to recognize mistakes we have made and make the changes that need changed and at the same time seek to gratify our personal needs and desires and to appreciate and respect the members of your family. We may close the book and acknowledge your presence not here but your memory will always be alive along with your hopes and dreams in the hearts of your children you left behind that we will build a house of one again and to reunite and to think and teach as you did to us to show our children an example so big and so sweet and joyful that they will be brave and face the challenges in life to envelop them in the warmth of our ideals, successes and failures as you had enveloped us in your love. You taught us fairness, a great sense of responsibility and offered all your own eloquent examples of hard work humility self sacrifice and perisitence. You were a man of quiet strength whose values positively impacted all our lives. We will be forever in your debt for showing us the meaning of life. You are a special soul on this earth more highly evolved than most And for us we lost the most extrodinary heart and soul who were fortunate to call you dad received the better end of the deal. You are one of those truly individuals who simply by your presence made this life a better place to be.And so for now with this tempory separation we bid you farewell and rest in the paradise of Heven in the hands of God until our spirits and bodies again reunite and we are all brought forth triumphantly through the air to meet you again before the pleasing bar of Heaven in one house again.Sadly missed,but never forgotten.

DAD ''MY HERO''
It's Father's Day and you are so sorely missed, but I have so many cherished memories. We all know everything in life is temporary, because everything changes. And you a man of tried and trusty valor. A good man who kept his word worthy. A self respecting man. A man that had great strength and courage to love us all. A man who taught us how to love someone and each other knowing that it may end at any time. You always said ''Keep the faith, and faith will get you through''. As we celebrate this Father's Day in your memory you will watch over us from above. And on this Father's Day you have now finally been reunited with our loving Mom, brother and sister that you have so sadly missed. You are now in their presence. For those you left behind, it is not your presence here that brought meaning to life, but the way you touched our hearts gave us life. So dreams do come true in life and in death and your dream has come true. As you watch from above as we celebrate your day, you will contine to push us to our limits and test us beyond our endurance to continue to bring us together and make us one as you have always wanted to see. We will live life with a joyful heart and keep your spirit young and free. We will stay true and firm, become one and be the best we can be as you were. For me dad my life and my heart has been filled with your love and special care, and I savor it all. I could not have asked for anything more in this life from a father like you. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY I LOVE YOU

You were the greatest, you were the best. When they say worlds greatest dad that means you.
I love you and miss you. Give mom a hug and kiss for me. Tell her i love her and miss her too.
You will always be in my heart. The hardest word for me to say to you was no. I was always was so afraid to say no to you because i was so afraid of loosing you. It was unfair because i had to loose you anyway.
I have the most precious thing of you, that i know no one could ever take away from me, the memories of your love, your hugs, and your kisses.
Hugs and kisses to you dad.

TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
over the years when are troubles were overwhelming and we needed guidance and direction we ran to mom and dad for answers and depended on them for the answers and not to each other.well they are gone now the sun has set there job was well done and well appreciated with much grattitude and love and very well thankfull they will never be forgotten and we will never forget.the sun has set for them and now the sun has risen again and now it is a new begining for us all we should all now look back and think we no longer have them to turn to for the guidance and direction we now only have each other and it is now when we all need to come together and become one as we were all taught to be with a new sunrise comes a new beginning and the new begiining should start let bygones be bygones forgive and forget lets move on and come together and start the new beginning in life lets teach our children what we have learned let them follow our guidance and direction so that when the time come there children can foolow there guidance and direction in all the right ways with a positive attitude and with a great out look in life,but the only way that is going to be possible is by coming together as one the sun has risen today so now is when the new beginning has started its never to late in life for anything we live and learn something new each day each minute each hour regardless of age lifes challenges comes up with something new each day challenges that may need one another for the right answers and right direction challenges that may need called upon for each other and if we don not have each other or come together as one we will never get the answers we were looking for lets carry this name on as it has for generations lets carry this name on to what we were taught to do by the ones we just lost carry it on and be proud of the name we have mom and dad are gone but away now to a better place but they still live and still see and it is now when we should let them rest comfortable and watch from above and see us all become the one that they worked hard for and dreamed of if it was by there leaving that gives us a new beginning then that is what was meant to be so let them rest now and lets pull together and do what they have always exspected of us be proud of the name we were given by the two we loved so dearly and cherished lets finnaly show them as they look down on us and watch our continued life and the next generation of grandchildren and great grandchildren the loved so dearly and were proud of that we are strong we are one we will not be here to judge but we will be here to lead them in the right direction we will gude them through there trials and tribulations we will be there in good times and bad times life is short as we well see so it is now where when you need someone to talk to where you can pick up the phone knowing that without hesitation or worry that before the call is made that one on the other end is already there for you lets start our new beginning lets be strong and powerfull and not let lifes troubles or problems get us down but pull us together more powerfull and stronger and show that during times like these we cant be defeated and if you feel you can be then take a moment and think back and look back and see that our mother and father could not and would not be defeated or be brought down and had never given up and it is then when from above you will be given the strength to do what seems to be impossible become the possible just as they had shown and proven to us we have all and continue to go through rough times we have all learned that never regret growing old that it has been a privelage denied by many in this family so lets begin our new life today as the sunshines on us all lets finnaly give mom and dad the rest they so deeply deserve and to show them that there may be a saying of "an army of one" but there is also a family of one

Grandpa..
You were the best. Words could never describe the man you were and always will be. I will treasure every moment I spent with you and every smile you gave me. You were the grandfather every girl would love to have and I am so glad that you were mine. You will always live on, not only in my thoughts but in my heart. When I become a grandparent someday, I want to give my grandchildren wonderful memories like I have with you. Rest in peace Grandpa and someday I will be able to hold you again and you can rub that beard upon my cheek like when I was litttle. Give Grandma a kiss and let her know that I love her and miss her. I love you always and until we meet again. All my love to you forever...your granddaughter...Debbie

our dad was a proud american soldier and the motto goes in many sayings "the few the proud" "be all you can be" and so on and during times of trouble that soldier depends on his fellow soldier for help and the past few months our soldier needed help and all three of you were there when needed and i commend you and love you all so much for that you all desreve a medal of honor you made dad proud and stood behind him and helped him in his time of need but to my most loving sister annmarie you my love deserve not only the medal of honor you also deserve the medal for bravery you came in like a stormtrooper you being the very out spoken one used your talent-your courage your strength and your knowledge and put it to work without hesitation it was you that made him back to the man we all loved and knew it was you that took control and led him in the right direction it was you that gave him back what he once gave you you dedicated yourself to him your time your effort your knowledge of what he taught you you gave back to him and put him back in control of his life it was you that made him one of the few again and the proud not only proud of himself again but you made him proud of you because are strong soldier had finnaly seen what his work over the years he did for us go into action and seen the wonderfull job he had accomplished you completed your mission with high honors and much to be proud of for sure and in the end he did not loose the battle or the war his partner of over 50 years came to save him and took over where she left and took him to safety never to face any more battles again and for that annmarie i will always love you and never never forget how you came into battle with your strength and courage and without fear to free our american hero you did a wonderfull and an outstanding job with high honors love you and thank you from the bottom of my heart xxoo

my tribute to my dad on the final goodbye. dad i stood there and watched you rest but as i watched i know your mission was yet to be accomplished so i had tried my best to put myself in your shoes and to think what would you have said and to try to get across and to finish you and mom's dream of having a happy family and a strong family with an unbreakable bond and what you exspected from your siblings in your life time your shoes were hard to fill when it comes to speaking and could not be filled by nobody my only wish is that what was said on the final goodbye that it be taken to heart and give you back what you have given to us and try to fufill the dream that you both tried so hard to do so you can both rest comfortable and watch from above of what you have exspected form us all so if we would all just stop and think for one moment of what you both have really accomplished by giving such a large loving family it just may happen even though you both are not here to witness it but you are both above to still and always direct us in the direction you both so desired you both faught for us all without hesitation and you faught all the way to the end and you both inspired us all not only to fight for ourselves but to fight for others who could not fight for themselves and to be there for each other whether it be for dicispline or for the direction of policy you taught us well you both were so talented with astonishing wisdom with much love to give and to offer and to go all the way to the end without giving up on us or yourselves me personally i cant thank you enough and for all of us and for all who knew you both as a permanent spring of earth we have all lost the most extraordinary heart and souls in our lives but it is still through you both that the fight continue to accomplish what you have dreamed of and hoped for and that the fight will continue until you sucseed here on earth or in heavan because you taught us all what is usually right is usually neccessary and that in helping one another we also help ourselves and you both still had a good scensce of humor and proved that the fight never ends you always said success is a mission and a mission accomplished is a job well done i cant thank you both enough for the guidance and direction the job you both have done you both are exceptional you both will never be forgotten and with your guidance still from above you will sucseed what you have almost completed you dad will always be my hero and i will always look back on your thoughts when times get tough and try to follow what you have taught us and what you exspected and how you would have accomlished the mission at hand and to remeber as you said when the sunsets at night your troubles are forgotten when the sunrises in the morning is a brighter and better day with a new beginning new hopes new dreams you are both sadly missed and very well loved and you will never will be forgotten again thank you both for a job well done
