He practicaly gave me my first boat, and was always giving advise and heartful help to my kids and wife. Marcia, we are next door and please let us know if you need anything. You and Tom were so nice and I just found out and missed the funeral and wake, I am so sorry. I will miss our talks in the yard about fishing. Gone way to soon.

To Big Dog:

What can I say; I will miss our talks in my driveway. I remember the first day we met. I went with my realtor for the final walk through before purchasing the house two houses away from you. You came up to us and asked…are you purchasing this house? I said yes. You then asked is this your first house? I said no. You then said “oh do you flip houses” and my realtor without missing a beat said “No, she flips husbands.” We all belly laughed so hard and the rest is history. Rock The Heavens Big Dog You Will Be Missed.

To Marcia and Family:

May the memories you created carry you through your grief. Know he is in a better place he is now an Angel watching over you. Marcia if you need anything, I am two doors away.

Your Neighbor,
