Bunky,
It took me a long time to be able to write this to you. I have sat down so many times to write this but it was just to hard. We all feel so blessed that you left this world in peace. I know that you had many wonderful people waiting for you, but it was just to soon for us to let you go. I can not say good bye I can only say I will see you sometime in the future. I will miss you more then you could ever know. Our family has been so blessed to have had you for a brother,son, uncle and father. I will miss all of your corney little jokes, but most of all I will miss your laugh,loud voice and yes even your stoberness! But the one thing I will miss most is your hugs, they always made me feel loved by you, they where genuine, right from your heart! Your hugs always let me know how much you loved me. You mean so much to this family I hope you always knew that. You left us two wonderful parts of you, Branden and Meredith. We will love them as we love you. We will all watch out for mom and Randy for you, as I know how much they mean to you. You have always been there for me when I needed you, I couldn't ask for a better big brother! I will miss your birthday calls to me, they always made my day, at least the ones I could understand! Just know that we love you and miss you everyday, you have taken a little bit of me with you. Thank you for being my brother and leaving me with so many wonderful memories! I LOVE YOU BUNKY! THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!
Love your sister Mary

To my Father,
You and I had an unspoken understanding for the depth of pain felt when saying good bye; therefore in parting we might only say "love ya," but never was it a good bye. So this is not a good bye, but rather a hello.
In the end, I doubt anyone feels satisfied they were able to let their loved ones know how much they meant to the full extent feeling. However, you are me and I am you, I know how much of you was left in VIetnam. Although much of our life was marked by separation, my soul could look into your eyes and know you loved me. Your eyes intensity spoke when you could not. I know my father loved me and that is enough.
I know there are others whom you regret not having directly expressed your love to, but I will match your unspoken intensity in loving the most beautiful part you leave behind, your daughter, my Sister. I will forever cherish her like no other brother before or after. If there was anything I left unsaid, it would only be to say thank you for her. She brings connectedness and makes my heart whole in your absence.
I hope your settling into heaven thing, but as I doubt heaven has beer and wasabi nuts, I hope you find comfort in me eating and drinking your share.
Love ya,
Your son Branden

Elsie,
You and all your family are in my prayers for the loss of your son. The tribute was very nice. You have a son to be proud of.
With Love,

How do I say goodbye to one of my brothers. It's impossible Bunky because I think of you every day. I love you so much and it's just so difficult to realize that none of our family will ever get to see that smile on your face, or get one of your wonderful hugs or hear your singing and your great laughter again. I guess thats why God created memories for all of us, to always keep the ones we love near, if now, only in our hearts. You were the best brother any sister could have wanted. You always let me know how much I meant to you. Just out of the blue you would say to me "Sis, do you know how much I love you." How many sisters are that lucky to have a brother that will tell them that, for no other reason than he simply wants you to know it. I will miss you more than I can even put into words, but I know you are in a better place, and thank you God for not letting my brother suffer.Oh Bunky,you went so quickly, quietly and peacefully, if there are any blessings to our terrible loss of you, that would be it.You are in God's Hands now and I hope and pray that you find the peace you so richly deserve. You have left behind two beautiful children, Meredith and Branden, all we have to do is look at each one and we see and have a little part of you with us always,what a lovely gift for your family to have. I will remember you forever in so many different ways.Thank you for just being you and for being one of my brothers. I love you Bunky, Your Sister Sandy

I wish I would have been home to pick up the phone when you called last time. I can't believe that I'll never see or hear from you again my friend. It takes a long time to grow an old friend and you were one of my oldest friends. My love goes out to your family whom I love so very much. I'll miss you forever my buddy. Time to go cause a little trouble with Tailspin now! Love you.

You will be deeply missed Bunky. We had alot of really, really good times together and you always had a way of making everyone laugh. Fishing in Wintrop, throwing me off the boat, hot tubbing at the house and making the kids laugh. Throwing the crab in the hot water to prevent my sister from setting it free. I always loved you Bunky just the way you are ... you were always YOU! And I admire that. You will be truly missed young man but never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
Love always, Connie

Oh Bunk, so many many years ago and yet it was only yesterday that Randy, Branden and I picked you up at the airport at the end of the war and were hoping the end of your war. That was not to be. We were all so young and didn't know how to handle any of it.
I loved you then. I love you now. For you gave me one of two of the best things in my life.
Until we meet again,
Janell

It is hard to think that you are gone as you were always so strong and you were there for me for along time and when my mom passed i leaned on you.
I know you are having so much fun right now that I smile for you. Alot of family and friends who you have missed for a long time were at the gates to welcome you home. Peace comes now forever.....

It's been 40 years, but those childhood friendships just don't leave us. We met in Mrs. Dye's 4th grade class and were good friends during our teen years. This included us both being in the Marine Corps in Vietnam and spending some time there together. Thank you for your service. May you rest in peace. My sincere condolences to the friends and family of this Marine.
