James Alan Witherell Sr.

To Dad, I never thought that this would be the way for me to express myself and what you mean to me. As the tears roll down my face with saddness i think of nothing but good. You have been a mentor to many and an icon that will not be forgotten. I will always be your little girl and cherish ever moment we have had. I miss the everyday phone calls that ended with i love you. I could go on and on with memories but i will that to those you touched.....Always your Pookie
I Miss You

To My Friend Poppy
Thank You for your acceptance and love. I will never forget our talks, you always lent an ear no matter what. I will never forget you or let our kids forget what a great man their papa was. You will truly missed. I loved spending time with you even if it was just watching the news. Your presence in a room was warm and inviting. I will never break my promise to you and I will always take care of your "little girl". I told you I loved her more than anything in this world...

My grandpa was such a loving person and he was also funny too. I think he told me some of his stories when he was driving his school bus, he hurt his arm somewhere,but that was only one of his stories.I only known my grandpa for two years. He was such a great grandpa. I miss you too. love always Kimmie

So sorry to hear this news. Only met your dad once many many years ago but impressed me as a great guy. I know how close you are to him and know you have many memories to hang on to. In time I hope you will find peace.
I love You
