Dearest Tom, Jo, and Jan,
So very sorry to hear of your dads passing. What a gift it was to have shared in the love of your family while hanging out in Samoa as a youngster. Those special times will never be forgotten. I Thank You All!
Uncle Wes, Aunt Eunice and your momma had to wait awhile, but there's no doubt in my mind it was an awesome homecoming when your dad showed up! I can picture the four of them sitting on a porch laughing and catching up on old times! No pain, no...

Bunky was a great man. I have many fond memories that I will never forget.

I really didn't know Bunk until I was about 14 or 15, when Kristy got a tooth pick stuck in her foot. Bunky and Stella came all the way from Eureka to McKinleyville to pull it out for her. She wouldn't let Bunky touch it, because it hurt. He finally held her down and pulled it out. I'll never forget it, it was one of the most funniest moments of my life!! He has recently been coming into our lumber yard to get mill ends for his fire. I wish I would have squeezed a little harder that last time...

We deeply regret the passing of your father. You have are heartfelt sympathy. He will be missed by all.

Jan, Kevin, & Cody,
Thank you so much for bringing Bunky into our lives & neighborhood. We have enjoyed every minute shared with him the past few years. We will miss seeing him drive his maroon truck through the neighborhood, sitting in the sun in the garage, and most of all his fantastic sense of humor. Now who will keep track of how many times Merritt mows the lawn? We have lost a great friend but have gained so many fond memories of him. We will never forget them. Love to all of...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
