Pops, we felt your presence at last night's Celebration of Life and shared many fond memories of time spent with you. Your grand- and great-grandchildren had a lot of fun together, and we had some outstanding food from Serrano's, in your honor, of course. We miss you but know you are in a much better place now.
Love you to the moon and back, times three!

Pops, I had lunch at Applebee's yesterday, sat in "our" booth, and was served by our favorite waitress, Julia. She said she had wondered where we had gone and had been hoping and praying for the best for Grams and you. She and I shared tears of remembrance of what a kind and gentle man you were. She said things will never be the same without you, and I told her that was exactly right. We will carry on with our lives, but things will definitely never be the same again.

I can't...

Pops,

I wanted to say thank you…

Thank you for letting me walk on your feet as a young child.

Thank you for teaching me how to shoot a jump shot as a boy.

Thank you for teaching me the value of a dollar, or should I say the value of a two dollar bill as a teenager.

Thank you for inspiring me to be the man that I am today. I can only hope to be as great a man as you.

I love you and miss you so much but I will see you again when...

? I just want you to know that I’m very thankful for everything you and grams have given me over the years :) I’m upset that I haven’t been able to go out their and see you before this time has come. I’m hoping to get out to AZ and see grams soon since its been awhile. But its ok cause one day ill be up their with you and will all be together again like the old days when I was a little girl :) R.I.P POPS YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU WERE AND STILL ARE A WONDERFUL MAN!YOU LEFT A GREAT...

Pops where do I even begin, were all going to miss you dearly, but I’m just so happy that your finally at peace and in heaven where your going to be happier, and not in pain anymore, that’s all i wanted was to know that you weren't in pain. Obviously some of us its hard to accept that because its hard letting someone go that’s so close to you, but at the same time its not right that we think of our self’s and what we want rather what’s best for u
Much love ,Brianna Vanderford

Such a wonderful life... full of family, love and memories! Thank you for sharing with all of us your stories, and teachings. Most of all I thank you for the wonderful man who's life you touched greatly, he is now the man I love and know that you had a tremendous impression on.
We will hold the love in our hearts and share the memories forever.
