Dad,
Today would have been your 90th birthday! Too bad the Cubbie's couldn't make it to the Series, but "there's always next year." I miss you Dad and I love you.

Grandpa,
All of the summers, holidays, and other occassions we spent together as a family will not be the same without you. You will always be in my thoughts. Each time I watch the Cubbies I will remember all the times we spent at Wrigley and hope they can finally pull one out!!! Goodbye Grandpa, Love always :)

Dear Grandpa,
I am really going to miss you. I just think about all the good times I had hanging out with you and how funny you were and how much you enjoyed life. This world would be a better place if it had more people like you. Say hi to grandma, and tell her everybody misses her to.
Love,
Eric

Dad,
I can't tell you how much I'm gonna miss you. Thanks for being such a GREAT grandfather to my kids and wonderful father- in - law to Kris. They all loved you very much and will miss you dearly. We have many great stories to reminisce about your escapades with the kids. I'm really glad you talked me into going to Poland. It puts a lot of puzzle pieces together. Thanks for helping me to be proud of my Polish heritage. I'm gonna fly the U.S. flag I received in honor of your service in the Army when the Cubbies win the World Series.I hope you're able to be with all the rest of the family that's passed.
Love, Kenny

Dear Ed,
I will think of you everytime I see a rose, it will remind me of your rose garden. I will be cheering for the Cubs to win the series this coming year. Maybe one day your great grandson will be a player for the CUBS! Your memory will be honored and passed to your great grandson throughout the years.
Peace, Prayers,& Blessings Always,
Michele & Lil man

Hey Pal!
You will be dearly missed. I will miss you most on Saturday mornings when I sit down for breakfast. I will never forget the times we shared! Whether we were pruning the roses, having tea, watching the Cubs games or conversing about the days events, you always brought a smile to my face. You had a very special gift that way, a certain sweetness that everyone could see! I know you are watching over us all now and I thank you for the time we shared! May God bless your family at this time and for years to come! With Love, Jenny
