My Grandfather Rocky will be missed by many and I will be thinking of him every day. I have looked up to him my whole life and will miss hearing his many wonderful stories at Thanksgiving this year.

We used to play cribbage every Wednesday night, after he checked the spelling on my homework. He taught me how to shoot free throws, and could beat me in golf with nothing but a putter and a five iron. He was a truly amazing man.

I love you and miss you Grandpop. I will forever be thankful you were able to be a part of my life.

Dear Julie,
I am sorry to hear the loss of your dad. He was like my second "track" father all throughout high school. He helped me to "Jump" (Julie, remember the Van Halen song you would always play :)) My thoughts are with you and your family throughout this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Jennifer James Ingalls

To Jeanette and my extended family, Mike, Julie, Lianne. I loved your dad very much he was a kind and wonderful man and i will miss his kindness and his friendship. Even though he was my father in law, he was like a dad to me. He was always nice to me and made me feel welcome into the family. I'll miss making him laugh. Summers on the lake won't be the same without him. My condolences go out to Jeanette and his children and you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for giving me the greatest gift of all, Maureen the love of my life. R.I.P. my friend. I miss you, I love you and i'll never forget you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeanette and the Supple family. Al was a great guy who had a gift for storytelling. He and his stories will be missed.

I'll never forget the first time we met Al. It was at the Cape where he drove to see our mom who he had only just met, (and who later became his wife)! He was a trooper that day--having dinners with "the family" and telling us lots of wonderful stories about all of his children, siblings, friends, and co-workers at the dealership! He loved you all so much! He smiled, and talked and talked, and we soon learned how important you all were to him! Al went all out--even going on the go-carts-- which couldn't have been easy since he could barely fit into them with those long legs! He won Mom's heart and she won his...

I miss him, and I know that I will always remember him for the passion he had for life and the love he had for all of you...

God bless you and God bless Al.
