To You All,
Your Dad was a very special man. From the day I first met him in Ringwood, NJ, at the bait and tackle, (of course) talking about the big one that got away in the resevoir or the big buck he saw in the woods in West Milford, until but a few weeks ago, he always had a hunting story to tell. When he moved into the apartment in the barn he became part of my family. He was so proud of each of you and loved you all. I truly will miss him and he will always hold a special place in my heart as he was always there for me. He will watch over us and each time you all see a flock of turkeys in the field, a bear walking the ridge line or that big buck on the run, smile, as it is your Dad free at last to roam where his heart has always been.

Irene, I know how close you were to your Dad. When he helped you with your Cub projects I used to wish I could meet him. Keep the memories close to your heart to help you heal. You will be in my prayers.
