My thanks to the many who attended my Father's visitation and funeral. What a wonderful tribute and memorial. I hope that I can live a life that ends with so many loved ones by my side. I am proud and grateful to have wonderful siblings who came together for a common goal and persavered through the challenges of caring for my ailing father.

Dear Barbara and family - Always remember the goods times and the memories will follow.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So, he put his arms around you and whispered "come with me". With tearful eyes we watched, and saw you pass away. Although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.... God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.
With Much love,
Ted, Millie, Timmy and Michael

Many times in my life I would be camping and fishing at Indian River Inlet with my Dad, and the Kerr's would be there. Mr and Mrs Kerr seemed to be a very happy couple, always smiling, always laughing, fun people to be around. I will always remember the good times, the stories and the laughs we shared together.

Dear Janice and family,
Our condolences on the death of your sweet, energetic dad. He was quite a character giving life and love to many. Our fondest memories are of him in his garden--growing every possible vegetable and in great abundance as well. He seemed to do so much and always in a big way.
We hope your memories of him are equally as tender.
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this special time.
We miss you so much. Wish we could be there with you now.
Love, Anne & Tom
