Not sure what to say?

Its been one year-Im remembering
you Dad -with Love
Bill

To the Atkinson Clan, your father was a kind gentleman who I will always remember having a smile on his face and a kind word to say. I don't think I can remember not seeing him at Mass. He had a way of always making you feel warm inside by just a hi or a good morning. I remember growing up and always thinking that he was one of the kindest most patient dads around. And I know that all of you tested him daily. And he passed as a great dad. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and...

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Though we only knew Bill for a short time, we're very honored to have met him. With deepest sympathy.

Uncle Bill was always such a sweet man. He made me my first fried egg sandwich and growing up with Uncle Jack you can understand why seeing a man cook made such a big impression!! He always called me Dodo and made me feel as loved as an adult as he did when I was a little girl. I miss him already. May he rest in peace.
love, Dorothy

Grandpa, You will be so dearly missed. When we think of the things that will always remind us of you...I think of Notre Dame Football, your faith,how we use to play in your office when we were kids, and most of all how you loved having family and friends around you. I only wish you could have stayed with us long enough to see me walk down the aisle on February 23rd. It gives me peace to know you will be there in spirit with Grandma, looking over John and I on our wedding day.

With...

Dad,I will remember you always in my heart as the best role model a son could ever ask for.You showed us how to live and you showed us how to die with faith,couage,and dignity..I love you with all of my heart..DANNY BOY...
