My deepest condolences. May God's Holy Spirit be with the family. I pray that he brings comfort to you all at this hard time.

Rob,
We are keeping your family in prayer for peace & comfort. We are sorry for your loss.

A love of 60 years is amazing , my father loved his wife and best friend, he could not live without her, he decided it was best to be with her. I am thankful he chose to die the way he wanted, in his sleep. I am thankful that my parents showed me what true love was yours truly, your daughter Ann

My heart goes out to all of you, Ann, Richard, Andy, Joey, David and Danny. No words can describe the emptiness that I feel right now, losing first "Momma D", and now "Pop D", my second parents. I am truly heartbroken, but know that the memories and love that they shared with us all will remain strong and forever in our hearts. We love you, Dad, Linda, Mike and Steve (Mom and Cheryl)
PS We miss Tracy too....know that they are not gone, for they live on in our hearts!

Our prayers are with you. His Powerhouse family will always enjoy the memories. He's a legend who always shot from the hip. God Bless his family.

We are so sorry for your loss. Love you, Sandi and Bo
