Richard and I send Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. It's been about 10 years since we've seen you and Al, but we have very fond memories. He and my brother Ray, swore me into the National Guard. We had some good times back then, lots of fun times, and he was pretty good at lawn jarts! I also remember his eyes, they were always smiling.

I miss him so much, but have tons of memories to keep him alive inside me forever! This New Year's eve will never be forgotten, dad, Penny and I were able to "celebrate" together. Cherished every moment,

The bond between a daughter and her father is something no one can touch. Kandi and I are so grateful for the precious time we spent with our dad during his final days here on Earth. The honor to start him on his journey was a gift from Above. This is not goodbye- but a gentle kiss until we see each other again in Glory. Today he is free and soars with the Angels.

Dad, I miss you so much, we have so many fun memories of you. You were always such a caring and loving person. We never will forget your jokes and tricks you always played on us, and no matter what we could never be successful in getting you back. You were always to smart for us.
You were not only a great father and grandfather but a great inspiration to all of us. You were always there to support me in track, school and teaching me to drive. Getting me in the medics in the military, what fun I had. You were always so proud of your kids and grandkids. You loved our mother so much and we are so grateful for the time you had together. Love You Forever.

January 5, 2011

No words could express the sadness I feel for you and your family at this time. I only pray that God will wrap his arms around each of you as only he can, and give you peace and comfort knowing that he is with him. Our warmest thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Chuck and Carole Seitz

Papa,

We love you and most certainly will never forget all the times we shared over the years. Gavin is just learning how to swim using your patented "cheeseburger" method . . . and I assure you I will pass to him as you did to me the ability to empty the crane machine of all stuffed animals!

Your Grandson Forever,
