I will miss you always

Mr. "PortaRocc" we will miss you dearly. What a wonderful man you were! It was our pleasure to know you!! Much love to Danielle & Family.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I will always remember waking up Thanksgiving morning finding your dad and Bill still playing cards. Your dad wearing my glasses of course. They have a full table now. He is in good hands

Pauline and Danielle, Miles and years have separated us but please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. The memories we have will never be forgotten. I remember your Dad's sense of humor and laugh like it was yesterday. Love you both -xoxoxoxo Tammy
