Dad, Almost a month now since you have been gone---leave it to me to wait until the last moment to write--a month ago today I spent the day at your house--hoping we could get you to the doctor on Monday--but you left us the very next day-at first I thought maybe I had not made the right decision to keep you home but later I realized you had decided long before us not to live that way--it was time to move on--I don't blame you--but I do miss you--I went by your store the other day thinking I...

Hi Dad,

Today is Dan's 21st Birthday and the first family gathering that you won't attend. I know you will be with us in spirit.
We all miss you...Went to Porricelli's and Ed the manager & the cashier who used to call you Louise couldn't say enough praises of you.
So many people loved you.
Hey if you have any influence up there help out with this crazy weather...talk to the big guy.
I'm doing fine as you can see.

Love you dad,

Juju

pops,
i really don't know where to start off. you are the best grandpa anyone could have, most kids have 2 grandpas but i only had you, and now that you are gone i don't know who will fill that gap.I do know that no one can be as AWESOME as you. you always brightend my day with your jokes, or tag sale stories. you had so many you could have written a book.
~Love always,~
Justine

Dear Ed,
I'm sure you're up in heaven telling jokes and filling Dorothy in on everything that has changed. I missed you when I switched jobs and didn't get to hear your daily joke or just talking to you about family. I will always cherish those jokes and helping you with the orders (even though you said you didn't want my help). I truly appreciated all that you did at work and all that you taught me. I'm glad that I got to see you one last time in the hospital and that you really liked...

I will miss you greatly, Pops. I will always remember the all the things you did for me and the rest of the family to make us happy.
I will never forget you being there for my brother and I during our little league baseball games and how you would always bring us candy and baseball cards.
I will always remember how you always called me "Scooter" even at 28yrs old.
Although I'm not great at showing love, I do love you and will miss you, especially on the holidays. Your love...

Dad,
I feel that God knew exactly what he was doing when he paired you and me up. we're like two peas in a pod. I spent my whole life listening and learning from you. I was your right hand man, building rabbit cages with you, moweing the lawn with you. I even learned how to drive with you. My memories will last me forever. There are so many that if I ever forget one i will have plenty of back ups. like every summer at beaches pool, basketball in the driveway. you were my biggest fan at...

Dear Eddie,
You are such a nice man. I will miss you and never forget you. Although we didn't see one another that often when I did see you it felt like there was never a time lapse and our conversations would pick up right where that left off.
It was so evident what a great father and grandfather you were. You really valued family. I am so glad we got to have our family reunion last year and you got to take a picture on the carousel with you grandkids. I will miss you but know you...

Dear Mr. K:
I just wanted to let you know that you had a big influence on my life. You may not remember but when I was 18 (well past my crush on Judy), I told you that I was going to join the marines. You talked me out of it for fear I would be sent to Viet Nam. It wasn't Nam that scared me but you description of basic traing! I took your advice and joined the Air Force. Thanks for the tip. You were always nice to me and your wife gave me lots of 'girl' advice. Each time I visit...

Pops I am so blessed to have had you as my grandfather. Some people have 2 grandfathers, but I didn't need 2 because I had 1 Pops. I always knew I was loved whenever I was with you. I will always be your best audience and you will always be my favorite comedian. You are the ultimate grandfather! I remember this quote I read once "just when the caterpillar thought the world was over it became a butterfly." It reminds me that you're not completly gone from us because you're always with us just...
