Not sure what to say?

My dad loved to work in his garage in our family home in Arcadia. I took this photo of him around 1984, when I was a budding teenage photographer. He was very supportive of this pursuit, and we even built a darkroom together in this same garage. Remembering him this Father´s Day, and missing him every day.

This is a photo I took of my parents at their 25th Anniversary party at our family home in Arcadia in August 1987. That´s my beloved grandmother Myrtle in the background - she was a diligent documenter of all family events, bless her heart.

I´m saddened to learn of my dad´s illness and passing. In the half century that I knew him, he was a hard working man who provided well for his family and did his best to participate meaningfully in their lives, while also helping friends and neighbors and serving his community. I have many happy memories of him through Little League and family camping and boating trips as a kid.  We prepared hundreds of youth soccer fields on Saturday mornings together back then. I had a lot of fun going...

Our deepest sympathy to Phil and family on the sad passing of Paul , May his gentle soul rest in peace in heaven Lovely memories of Paul and Phil when they came to visit us in Ireland. our thoughts and prayers are with Phil and all his family at this timexx

I have fond memories of Paul, who I met through his beautiful and kind wife Mary Phil. He was the kindest person I met, always willing to keep me company when Mary Phil was busy. I will continue to pray for his soul and for his family to bear his loss. God Bless You All!

Dear Gledhill Family, So sorry for your lost. We all go way back about 50 or so years. What fun we all had living on the same street for years. So glad that my Steve and your Jeff have been friends since kindergarten. May God Bless you all. Marilyn & Steve Mazone

Among the many fine memories I have of my Uncle Paul were those of a multi-family rendezvous at Pismo Beach. Uncle Paul had built a four seater sand rail (dune buggy) and we rode mini bikes on the hard sand, and took the buggy up The Devil´s Slide! I was sure we would flip over backward it was so steep, but Uncle Paul laughed and powered up to the top, then traversed and blasted around through the dunes. A fun day for this then ten year old, for sure. He was a kind and gentle man with...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
