Pop,
I have many happy memories of times the family spent together. Some of my most memorable are the silly pants you had me make for you for a babarshop show, they had to be long enough to cover your shoes. I remember the laughs you got when your quartet walked on stage. Before that you asked me if I would use the instructions you had to crochet you a fisherman cable afgan, I enjoyed making that for you. Then the Christmas you surprised me with the beautiful sewing table you had made...

Dad,
We are apart now but we will always be together in the heart because love is the tie that binds.
My cherished memories of you will remain in that very special place in the core of my soul for the rest of my life.
We will someday be together beyond the horizon, as if we were never apart.
I will keep your spirit near me always.
All my love forever.

"Big Bob", The name I gave him many years ago. Where do I start?
I have so many memories,(31)years worth.
Quickly comes to mind these few special moments. Like when I had a huge splinter in my big toe. He saw it, grabed my foot and pulled it out(My hero).
The many nites we would have peanut butter crackers together.
The times when he would lay on the floor in the living room watching TV and when he went to get up sometimes, he had trouble so I would offer to help(like I...

My Dad was the best. He taught me so much.
We both had such a great love of music. He was very encouraging too. Especially about my music. He was my biggest fan.
Dad had a great sense of humor. We had so many laughs. Like the time we forgot to put the plug in the boat or when I panicked on the roof of my house and he had to come get me down, as he laughed all the way.
Dad was very understanding and open minded. I could talk to him about anything.
I'll always remember all...

Some of the great memories I have about my father begin when he was a kid and how he loved being on the water fishing. They did not have boat engines back then and he used to tell us how he would row all over Shark River in Belmar to the great fishing spots, not an easy task.
Then when we were kids we would go to the "Bungelo" as we called it and fish and swim all weekend long. Great memories. As we grew older my father continued his hard working habits by helping all of us with the...

To my beloved husband, Bob, we knew each other all of our lives. Married 61 years, and our life together will always remain in my heart and never be forgotten. He had great strength. His love for me and our three sons and family was always first above all else. He loved music, singing and played guitar. A Carpenter all of his working life, at which he worked very hard. I can't say enough about how he was always ready to help someone who needed his help.
"Burnsie", as his barbershop...

To my Pop, Brianna & Chase were blessed to have had you as their Great Grandpa for as long as they did. We will all miss you and hope you are at peace and singing with the angels. Keep an eye over all of us (especially Gram) and try to pay us a visit from time to time. God Bless. Love You. xoxo
