Hi Dad,

Evertything down here is going along fine. I think of you often and wish I'd made more of my opportunites to tell you all the good things you meant to me. It seems strange but I see a lot of you in Dan. He seems to have that same way of getting excited about things. Hopefully, he will see a lot of you in me. Hopefully, I can be a Dad like you.

Time went so quickly Dad. I miss you.

Love,

Glenn

Hey Dad,



I'm sitting here trying to write what is in my heart, but the tears in my eyes won't let me see the keys to type the words. Today it is one month that you have not been with us as a whole person, you are here in spirit. It has not gotten easier. I often ask myself, Why, Oh Why did you have to leave us? Why did you have to get sick? I guess these are things that we are not to know yet. There are not very many days left to write in this book, I guess it gives us some comfort to talk to you in this manner. I know that you are listening to us, and in some way you are telling us that it is okay, and you will see us again. "That will be a great day". Dad I know that I did not tell you enough how great you were and that I love you. I am sorry for this, not letting you know how much all you did was greatly appreciated, it was and thanks for being you. I could not of asked for more in a dad, you are and will always be the greatest to me.

All my love to you.

Joyce

Hi Dad,

I never realized how much "Hi Dad" could mean. I can barely type those words without a wave of sadness coming over me. It still hurts not having you here. I think of you often and remember so many good things. The one thing that really stands out to me is your integrity. Always true...always honest. I am so impressed and proud. Always proud. I can only hope that when you look down you will see that same quality in me. I could thank you for a million things if I had more time. I need to sign off now Dad, but I'll keep in touch. Remember...Smoooooth Sailing.

Love you, Carol.

Dad,



Just wanted to say hi, it seems like it would get easier as the days go by, but it only gets harder to realize that you are not here with us. Some times when I call mom I expect to hear you answer the phone, as you always did, but now you do not.

It was a really beautiful day last Friday when you laid your ashes, not a cloud in the sky, nice an sunny, Carol even called Glenn, and he and Nancy listened on the cell phone, this way they were there with all of us. It is strange how things happen, but after Father Sebra had completed, to all of our amazement, two Navy jets did a fly over,it was really beautiful. Oh the tree is a flowering pear tree, it is just begining to bloom. Dad when I come to this guest book and begin to read all of these comments in here, I realize how much, not only as a father but as a man, you were respected by all. You were admired by many, I only ask why do we have to wait to realize such things about the ones that we love. We need to let our loved ones know that they are loved and cared about daily, this I have learned from losing you from my life. You were and will always be a great father and man in my eyes. I truly miss you every day.

All my love to you, watch over all of us.

PS-We are all watching out for mom.

Love,

Joyce

Dad,

Today you reached your final resting place. I know you’re at peace now.

You gave us so much. You taught us about right, wrong, honesty & fairness. Now we pass these same values on to your grandchildren. But the one thing you and Mom gave us that will last forever, is our name. We hold it dearly and protect it at all costs. I speak for all of us when I say, we wanted you to be proud to call us your children. I know we were proud, to call you Dad.

Your memory will be in mind always and your love will live in my heart forever.

Bob;

To say its been a pleasure knowing you is an under statememt. From one nine to another we have a lot in common, including love of God, Family and Country. I can truthfully say I would have liked you as a friend even if we had not had the in-law title. Your accomplishments in life are admired by many.

As you look over us smiling, rest assured you are in our thoughts and tho your "watch" duties have come to an end, we now salute you and graciously take the torch of the Watch as we have you to guide us with the standards you have set forth.

Its a pleasure knowing you Bob, calm seas, smooth sailing!!

Well Dad, it's like this...I'm letting everyone know that The Master Chief is smooth sailing. No more rough waters. I know one day we will all be in that wonderful place with you and our family will be together again. Until then, I miss you each and every day.

Love, Carol

Dad,

Today is March 4, 2004 and it is now 1 week that you have been gone from our lives, it is so sad. The service that we had for you on March 1st was so beautiful, Glenn spoke of the Love that Mom has for you and how she was right by your side every single day. Dad she never left you side not for a moment. Danny also got up an spoke of how he admired you, how brave you were to fight in the war and stay in the Navy to protect the country. I know that you were looking down on them and were very proud of them. After the cermony we went to the Olive Garden to eat, and I want you to know Mom made a toast to you with a Heineken for 53 wonderful loving years. The next day Mom, Glenn and I went to pick out the grounds in the cemetery, Mom picked out a really nice space, and it is right near a small tree. We were trying to figure out what kind of a tree, it did have buds on it, I do believe that it is a Dogwood tree, I will have to let you know when it does bloom. Dad I love you more than you know and I will miss you every day of my life.



All my Love,

Joyce

Uncle Bob,

I have such fond memories of you and your family visiting Maine in the summer. I can still remember watching for your car to pull in the driveway and running to Garand Street to see all of you. When I was a young child I remember looking up at you in wonder. You were so tall and well I was always challenged in that area however I remember that you brought me to the store once and bought me an icecream. You made me feel very special. I remember walking the golf course with you and my Dad, now I am playing the game. Thank you for all the good memories! Say hello to Chuck for me. I miss him!

Your niece,

Melinda Nelson

Daddy,

We had your services the other day, you would have been pleased. Your family and friends were there to pay their respects and as Dennis Upchurch said; he's "At Ease now." Glenn expressed some lovely thoughts about you, Mom, our family. Mom looked absolutely lovely today, Dad. You would have been so proud.

I love you, always.
