Not sure what to say?

To all the Baxters, Pep was a wonderful uncle. I will always remember our December Birthdays - he always had a hug and a kiss ready for me. I remember my Mom and Dad getting Bob and me in the car to spend the day in Danielson. Then, it took an hour and a half to get there, but when we finally got there, we had Gramp, all the aunts and uncles and ALL the cousins! Such happy memories through all the years.

I'm so sorry that we will not be able to make the services for your dad. He held a special place in our hearts. He was the favorite uncle, always in a good mood with a quick witted reply and was the ultimate water ski instructor. He was not only an uncle but my boss for several years.

My heart is with the whole family, Prescott was a kind and bright spirit. I´ll always remember the birthday card him and Bernice mailed me when I was little, even though I was simply their grandkids friend. Such welcoming people. He will be missed.

He came over, introduced himself, and volunteered to chip all of our branches! He brought his equipment and worked side-by-side with us until the job was finished! I´ll never forget his generosity!

May God bless the family with peace and comfort. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. With deepest sympathy, Carol & Ted Pacheco
