Dad,
I love you so much and I know you knew that. I have missed our weekly phone calls for awhile now. You always seemed to cheer up when I called.
Thank you for coming to me Sunday morning. I know you are at peace and my mind is at ease.
I will miss you till I get to the other side. Until then you live in my heart.

Buddy as we called him was a great boss and freind. He taught me how to be a great house painter. I was close to the whole family. Debbie ,Dianne, Dana and Denise. I also will never forget Roe. She was the best. I will miss them both. We had a lot of fun. I remember Roe giving deb and I a ride to school a lot and warming up her galaxi 500 just to the right temp , then we could go. Playing basket ball with buddy after work. And having a few cold ones. Rest in peace buddy and roe. Love steve
