Anniversario 2023. I was just thinking of you today realizing that it is two days past the 11th anniversary of your passing. As you know I just celebrated my 36th anniversary of my 29th birthday back in December. That was always a month you and I shared. My Chance dog's anniversary of his passing is 2-13. Although it's just been one year since we lost Chance, I can't tell you how much I miss him. He was a great dog. Now I am dealing with my knees, so Tucker is now with Michael and...

Dad, Buon Compleanno. Hope all is well with you today. Just now and then, I like to update you on family matters and the way we are here. Cindy and I are grandparents for one year now. Adelynn's birthday is October 30th. We love her and although she still hasn't gotten any teeth as of yet, she loves my meatballs. I know you'd enjoy them as well. I've been trying to finish Kim and Kevin's house but still find myself behind the 8-ball, so to speak. I really am blessed with the amount of...

Dad, Sorry, I'm a day late, however, you were on my mind yesterday and your birth date did not elude me as it's been 80 years since that "Day Of Infamy" December 7, 1941. This year literally has been a blitz with work being so busy, it's hard to catch up. Cindy has just started to go back into the office after a year and a half. Chance has been in and out of the vet with minor issues. As you know, it's better for me to be busy and keep my mind on the importance here in this life. I wish...

Dad, Happy Birthday 2020. This has been the year of the pandemic alright! Uncle Pete passed in October of this year and 18 years after Aunt Joyce. She is probably saying "what took you so long?" Cindy's dad, Richard, just passed 11-29-20. Please pray for her mom who is now in the hospital fighting. Kimberly and Kevin were married 7-3-20 as you know and have just closed on their first home. The closing was exactly 40 years after our first closing 10-28-80. I am paying it forward as my...

Dad,
I'm sorry I missed writing to you this past February 6th. A lot has happened in just two short months. The world has changed in ways we could never see coming. Maybe that's the key, to always stand ready. To keep awake and be ready to accept the things that we cannot yet understand. I can't wait to see you again. You were a marvelous example for me. I've been continuing to write my book. I'm savoring the memories in a book through all the cars I've owned. I love you, dad. Please...

Happy Birthday dad. Not much to write this cold February night. I sent you a picture of our family tradition of engineering minds. Michael is still trying to put our '72 back together after rebuilding the heads almost 2 years ago! Oh well what can I say, he's in love now and you know how that goes... I think Richard will be writing to you sooner or later. Doug and Rich still at odds. I'm still praying. The Lord works in mysterious ways and in His time. He always knows what's best. Amen I love...
