The Friday coffee group still misses you, and your name comes up frequently ...... particularly when we have occasion to discuss politics, sports history, the Catholic Church, or growing up on the Westside and attending St. Ed's High School.
Indeed, you are missed...........

Dear papa,
I love and miss you so much!!!! At my soccer or basketball games I tell my mom or dad to leave an empty seat next to them because that means that you are right there. Thank you for being the best grandpa in the world! I love you and miss you! Someday I'll see you again.

Gilliam Family,
My deepest condolences. Your papa was a great man. I could tell that his grandchildren meant the world to him. It was always a pleasure having him be a mystery reader in my class. Keep close to your heart all the great memories you have of him and always remember he loves you. You are all in my prayers.
