Happy Birthday, Dad. Even though it's a humid July day, somehow I know you would still be out there, paintbrush in hand, perhaps painting along the banks of the Delaware River! We love you and miss you. Your children are united in their appreciation for everything you have done for us. I know we'll see you again.
Your loving daughter.

Dad: the holiday season is upon us and you always taught us to appreciate the small things in life. I was in New "Jack" City yesterday and thought how you would just love all of the holiday lights and activity in the city. We miss you and love you and we know you're not that far away from us. "Enjoy the Day."
Love,
Carla
Your many loyal friends
