Uncle Bob was always the gruff (in a good way) but generous host. I loved both your Mom and Dad. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Cousin Tom

Karen - deepest sympathies on the passing of your dad, my thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Dear Bob, Mike and Karen,

For Bob, Mike and Karen:
I'm so very sorry to have heard of your father's passing. I will always remember his kindness towards me and my family. I will remember him in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mike, Bob, and Karen:
I am sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I loved him for many years, he was a wonderful person all around. I am sure we all will remember the times growing up that he was an important part of. My love to you all and your families.

Love,

Dear Karen, Bob & Michael,
I'm sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I worked for him for more than 8 years, and know that he was very proud of his family and loved all of you deeply. He was an good and honorable man, and always very kind to me. I know he will be missed.
