I miss you Dad. Thank you for all the values you imparted to me. Your sincerity, kindness, generosity, and deep connection with this earth showed me how to live life with integrity. And with joy, I will always remember you singing old timer songs wherever or whenever you wanted. I love you!

Sandra, thank you for sharing this news with me. Reading Marcie's reflection also led me to remember being mesmerized by your dad's slide rule and just really enjoying the chats I had with him. I did not know as much about his life, but what an awesome life! I have no doubt that you will keep his legacy going. My condolences to you and your family.

I will always remember Jim behind the scenes for all of the many childrens's masses that we had at St. Peter's and personally I will always think of Jim when I was organist at the 5:30pm Saturday mass when at the end he would come up and say "good job Eddie". My thoughts and prayers are with you Stella and all his children.

Thank you, Dad, for who you were. You made me who I am today. You were always willing to lend a hand, you loved the outdoors, you had high standards, you used the gifts you were given to benefit others, and you were always ready for an adventure. I see all those traits in me, straight from you. Thank you! I love you, and miss you. Love, Dawna

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I have so many memories of time spent with your family, and feel blessed for all of them. I remember the chocolate and chocolate chip pancakes very well. I also remember Jim trying to teach me how to use a slide rule, which I secretly never understood. I am so grateful for the role that Jim, Stella, Sandra, ALL of you played in my life. I think of you often, and thank you. My deepest sympathy, Marcie
