Not sure what to say?

miss you every day, and I thank the good Lord you were my Uncle. I love you forever.

I miss you, I miss your hugs! I miss your family!! I still have the best memories ever with you.

I don't see how it is possible you have been gone from the earth seven years now. I still talk to you, pray for you, and feel so blessed you were my Uncle. Best hugs, best kisses, best Philadelphia tour guide (even if you couldn't get me to eat a Philly Cheese Steak). I love you now, and forever. xx Until we meet again.

I love you still. You are in my heart and soul. Thank you for filling my heart with so many blessed memories and so much love.

He held my hand on our first day and left this world holding my hand as I slept on the couch next to his hospital bed in our living room. Missing the most wonderful husband ever as I enter 2017 without him.

Rita, I just returned from a trip outside the country and catching up on reading the Inquire ended up being a very saddening event for me. How many times have I thought to myself that I should come and visit you and Bunky on South Street . Every single day I am surrounded by all those autographed Opera News magazines, theater programs, and opera posters which the two of you so beautifully framed for me back in the eighties. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Uncle Bunk will always be in my heart, what a vibrant, loving, wonderful soul. He gave the best hugs and kisses ever.

His brother, Bill and sister-in-law, Vicky fondly remember the smile and twinkle in his eye. He made all around him happy. The Herrs

When asked about my most fervant memory of Bunky; I would say all of it! From the early days on he was always my big brother. A brother is one who protects, cherishes, and guides. He loved life; lived it well, and sared his joy with everyone. That laugh will forever live in my heart....
