I miss Pepe and find I'm thinking of him often. He is such a big part of my childhood memories - afternoons at his house, Friday night family dinners of steamers, pizza or fish and chips. It was clear that he loved living a simple life and being surrounded by his family. I am still moved by how much love he showed to Meme as she became ill. I won't forget how important family was to him; he was an example to us in that way. I wish my children had more time to get to know him.

Pepe, I miss you so much- the little things you did and watching western movies with you, playing with Billy&Uncle Alan in the yard. Your birthday party when you met Denny, everyone had fun. Will always miss you. Love Donna&Denny Neisinger.

As a little girl growing up down the road from Pepe, he will always be remembered to me as the biggest, strongest, bravest man ever, who could grow the most giant tomatos. And now as I am all grown up, Pepe still is and always will be a hero to me. I love you and miss you Pepe.

Dear Daddy, I miss you so much. I can't believe it has been a month already. I know you are fishing with the Big Guy and eating the biggest tomatoes ever. Thank you so much for loving me and taking such good care of Ma. I saw the love in your eyes for her as I never saw before. You are in my heart and thoughts everyday. Daddy Happy trails until we meet again.

Dear Dad, Life as we've known it will never be the same, although you will not be with us in body, you surround us all, you are in all of our gardens, in our trips to the ocean, in all of the country songs you loved so much, most of all we saw what it meant to truly love somone by watching you with ma and the tender way you took care of her. You have earned your wings. you were a man that did things his way, without bothering a soul, you did not want alot of things in life, just the love of your family, a good western movie and a narragansett beer, you were the best and we will miss you eternally, so for now dad , just rest and wait for us. All of our love , Alan and Lisa xoxo

To all of us who knew Pepe, he will be remembered for all the little things. The garden, fishing, Johnny Cash songs, the Boxcar Willie whistles. I will remember all the special days, holidays, weddings, family dinners. Funny how all the little things add up to one great man. I'll see you again someday. Love Deb, Fred, Marcus & Alexa

Cecile, and family,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father. He'll be rembered as a good man who always seemed sure of his direction in life, and who loved nothing so much as a good western movie, or a wrestling show. He did good, always.
