Dear Diane, Mrs. DeBaise, Doug, Denise, spouses and grandchildren. I'm sorry for your loss and my prayers are with all of you. I have many memories of the good times we all had together but the one that is most vivid of Mr. DeBaise is him singing Oohbahbaluba She's My Baby and dancing with those bright eyes of his and great smile. I wanted to share this silly memory with you because it makes me smile. I hope that it has the same effect on you at this very difficult time.
Take Care and God Bless,

Dear Sweetie, Joan, Gail and Billy and all your family members........We are so very sorry you have lost your dear husband, father, grandfather and brother, Tony. As as child, I remember being impressed by him and thinking of him as my "really grown up" older cousin. We all remember him as a very kind person and a true gentleman. In recent years Art and I enjoyed the times he spent visiting with us and bringing over pizza when we came to visit Auntie Jo and Uncle Bill. May they all rest in peace.
Our love to all of you,
Judy, Art and Uncle Herb

Dear Mrs. DeBaise, Doug, Denise and Diane (including all of the spouses and grandchildren):
Where do I begin with so many memories of our "extended families" for years at Job's Pond! There are also plenty of good times to remember from Bristol, too! I could go on forever, but I will be brief in saying that I am so sorry for your family's loss of a Husband, Father and Grandfather. My prayers, thoughts and love are with you at this most difficult time.

Dear extended family, I have been in the Navy for several years and have finally landed in Pensacola, Fl. I fondly remember Tony though, Bill and Carla Millington are my parents, and looking back over the years I can remember Tony always making a point to go out of his way to say hello to me at get -togethers. He was always smiling, and asked me how I was and what I was up to. My thoughts and my prayers are for all of the family mentioned in the Record-Journal. My dad was kind enough to send me the link. Tony will be missed, and I hope you are somehow comforted by having such a great person in your lives. May God Bless. . . .
