You were the best dad that a gal could ever wish to have. God loaned you to me and now he has taken you back to be among the angles. Keep singing and smiling..

Grandpap,
I have not one negative memory of you. You defined kindness and lived as an example of how be a loving husband, a caring father, a wonderful grandfather, a helpful neighbor and a compassionate person.
Many told me how happy you'd be with "Melody of Love" as your "exit music." I will miss the way your eyes twinkle (thank you for passing on your blue eyes to me.
Send my greetings to Grandma and let us know where she kept her recipe for stuffing. Watch out for me up there!

Dear Roseanne & Family,
Our Deepest Sympathy to you and your family. May the many memories of your father live in your heart at this sad time.

To the Savko family,
Alex was a very special man and a very special friend. Some of my fondest memories are times shared with him at Saturday evening masses at St. Anne's, when I played the organ and he sang (often while trying not to laugh at some antics of his friend, Joe). He will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will miss his twinkling blue eyes and kind smile. "Ring the Bells" will never be the same for me. May you be comforted by the happy times that you shared with him and the prayers and thoughts that are being sent your way.
With deepest sympathy,
Lisa Bray
