Not sure what to say?

I did not personally know Mr. Whitacre but for many years I walked my two dogs up the street. Super nice guy. We would chat a bit, Roxy and Randi (my dogs) would get a nice pat on the head, get a sniff and we would be off. During one quick chat me mentioned he was a Korean War Vet (same as both my parents) and was an aviator. My thoughts will be with him and his family each time I walk by.

The times we spent with you were so special. We will meet again and until that time you will be sadly missed by all who knew you.
So very glad that you were able to spend time with us both in the US and UK.
Love David and Jenny

Dad, I miss you so much. I will miss your great sense of humor, your warmth and caring, and especially your hugs. I love you, Dad. I will see you again.

Ted was a very caring and compassionate person with a great sense of humor. Ted and Evelyn were always so supportive of Sue Fredericks and the other wonderful residents of Hillside House in Santa Barbara. I enjoyed Ted and Evelyn's friendship.

Grandpa Ted will always hold a special place in my heart. I would spend hours at his house every day, helping him with his remote control planes or just random projects around the garage. His kindness to me will be something I will thrive to copy for the rest of my life. Thank you Grandpa Ted for being such an influential person in my life.

I will miss our times together from when you taught me to ride a bike, when you'd come and watch me play baseball. The times we'd go to the flying field and you'd let my fly your RC planes, going to the concert band concerts, I wil miss you at the Scottish Rite Picnic, thank you so much for the B17 plane ride! love you always.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
