Not sure what to say?

Oh my dear father, years have past without you here and, yet, I feel your presence around me. The village I live in is filled with musicians that I surround myself with. Each time they perform, I know that you are playing along or beep-bop pin´. You have made a huge impression on Geoff and the kids, as well as myself. You will always be a part of us. As I said the day I left to go back to Australia, I´ll see you n heaven someday. Love you madly! God is with you, your Nancy

Oh Dad how I miss you so! I can't believe it's been 10 years already! I will always treasure the days at Therapy Tuesdays at Major Hal, dancing up a storm. I was always so proud of your playing, keyborard or accordian. Like Michael said, your music still plays in my head. Just thinking of you brightens my day. Until we meet again Dad! Love you dearly!

Dad , I cant believe it is been Ten years since you left us . Your music still plays in my head when I think of you. How much I enjoyed listening and watching you play .You will never be forgotten and i can't wait till the day we meet again. Love and miss you dearly, Michael

I miss you more and more each day Daddio! It's seems like yesterday that I was sitting at the Bar with you at the ole Narragansett Inn. You drinking a cold Meister Brau and me drinking a coke and eating a Slim Jim.Lobe you always Dad.

Dearest Uncle,
I often wonder what you are doing. Are you having a beer with my dad. Are you playing the polka for my mother to dance to. I know you are in a much better place. I miss you so very much. You were my rock and I thank you so very much for that. I feel your presence around me often and I know you are looking down on all of us.
When I hear the song "My Way" which you always sang and played for me, I now sing it for you.

Your loving niece,
Connie

It's almost been a year. You are always in my thoughts and in my heart. Life has not been the same without you. I will go on and strive for happiness as it is what you always wanted for all of us. I know that you are in a better place. You are so loved. I hope you knew that.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with your mom, and all of you during this difficult time. My favorite memory is of him playing Polka's - it is instilled in my memory...what wonderful memories. Thank you, Hank.
And thank you to his family for sharing him with us!You all hold a special place in my heart...always.

My unbelievably generous Dad helped many people in his life, but I must admit, he probably ended up helping me the most. Whenever I asked him for help, he would be there tenfold. He was always a gentleman taking on duties of a real man, a real husband, a real father, and a real grand-father. From scraping your car and starting it for you in wintertime to picking you up from school, work, the airport...it never stopped. And he never complained. It’s almost as if he enjoyed it. He made me feel...
