You and mom gave us a wonderful childhood. And when mom died, A horrible time for all of us but especially for you dad. You were an angel for all of us, including mom and when mom...

I can't believe it has already been a year that you have been gone. You are still constantly in my thoughts. Time goes by so fast but I know you are in a better place watching over all of us. I love you so much.

Memories of my brother Richard. I have so many memories I will share a few.
Richard, my sister Sue and myself were fortunate that we had very loving parents. My mother’s parents had purchased a large parcel of land and provided each of their children a lot to build a home. My dad constructed a beautiful home for us. He had a good job with the P.G&E Company and our life was very comfortable. I can remember Christmas was special. Rich was the leader in our plan on Christmas Eve to...

Richard was an honorable man,a gentleman in every sense of the word. Always honest and fair and able to accept life on life's terms ,never complaining even when he experienced some of the toughest breaks a man could have had ,deaths of family ,separations and devastating illnesses ,He loved his whole family and his life. Richard fought to the end of his last illness to keep living that life and was an inspiration to all of us who saw him fight that last battle. I mourn his earthly...

Dad, I have so many memories, its hard to share. When the motorcycle policeofficers came up that day , the smell and creeking of the leather brought me right back to the little girl running to your arms coming home from work. When the piper played Amazing Grace I was proud of our strong Celtic hertiage.I guess thats where our Scottish Sims stubborness comes from. No matter what happened in between,it made me the stong person I am today. I am so thankful we had 13 years together. It is never...

Daddy, I truly believe that you were an Angel on earth. You were a gentle loving father. I am truly blessed that you fell in love with our mom and took us all, in those loving arms of yours. like a night and shining armer or what I said before an Angel. You were the kindest,smartest, gentle and humble man in the world. Even your officers loved you for those qualities and more. A true leader, a mentor. You were a hard working man that always made time for his family. Taught good family...

Pa,

I selfishly miss you so much. You were such a wonderful man and an inspiration to my life and how I want to live it. I know that you are in a better place with no pain and have no regrets of your life. I will miss our visits, emails and everything else about you.

I remember being very young and bragging to my friends that my Grandpa was once the Chief of police in Daily City. They would always say “Where’s that?” I didn’t care, I thought that was wonderful....

Our thought are with you and your family.
