What a Great Gentleman. Always more than a class act. He was royalty but in all he was disguised as a true friend to those from every walk in life. I will certainly miss seeing him in his blue blazer, Irish jokes, and the ornery twinkle in his eyes.

Goodby my friend. Bill

Dear Dad,
I am so grateful to have had you as my dear father in law. I couldnt have gotten any luckier to be your daughter in law. You were the most honorable man I have ever known. A true gentleman and patriot who loved us all so deeply and sweetly. Im really going to miss your smile, your wit, your hugs, your guidance, and most of all - your gentle loving spirit. You were a great, great man. I miss you. I love you. Rest peacefully and we will meet again. Always - Lisanne
