Hi Jesse;
My thoughts were with you in December. I remembered your dad's birthday in December, we both had December birthday's and born the same year. I mostly thought about all of his family and how they must have missed him so much. Your dad came from great stock and I know he passed it to you and your brother and will always be with you.
Love to you and your family,
Cousin Karen from Washington

You taught me many lessons in my life and it was a pleasure being in your presence. Thank you for all of the nice things you did for me over the years. You were a dear friend and a man I greatly admired. May you rest in peace!!

Dearest Joe, Natalie, Georgia, Joseph and girls (to you also Sam)
We recently heard the terrible news. We are shocked and very saddened to learn of Sam's passing. There are no words to say how sorry we are. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Sam was "ONE" of a kind. He made hours and hours of baseball and get togethers much more entertaining. Always fun and interesting. Joe and Natalie, you raised a wonderful man.
Sam and his family were beautiful inside and...

Sam, Hey meat, it's been 6 months. I miss you so much and still find it hard to really believe you aren't here laughing and enjoying life as we did so many times together. Our memories are so deep. 30 plus years of being my best friend, went through marriages together, and raised our kids side by side. Seemed as though our friendhip and our live were a perfect fit. We were always in trouble, causing trouble, or covering up trouble. I will always remember the generosity and kindness you...
