Not sure what to say?

How are you, pops? Ya, I know, you are doing great, being with mom and the rest of your friends and family every single day. Not having to deal with this crazy world on a daily basis like the rest of us....Hard to believe 4 years have gone by already. Seems something goes through my head everyday, reminding me how much you are missed. Some of those moments bring a big smile to my face, while others cause me to struggle and leave me wondering how I am going to make it through to the next...

Hey pops, another year has come and gone. It certainly doesn't get any easier not having you around, but I take solace in the fact that you are with mom and the rest of your family enjoying every day. The world has changed a lot over the last year, and is a much different place now. I'm not even sure you would like it. But what hasn't changed is how much I miss our time together, our conversations, our outings, and how we always managed to find a way to kill time talking about the past. ...

Not a single day goes by that I don't think about you, pops. I gain comfort knowing that you and mom are back together again.

However several great things have happened in my family over this same time period that I know you had a hand in on. I miss you, pops.

I remember the gas station Will had on Diamond- My Dad would stop by with us kids every so often- I think it was a Standard Oil station then a BP as I recall-
Will had a very deep bass voice which commanded respect!
We lost another of the "Greatest Generation" this week!

Regrets and sorrow at his passing- Wish I could have been there but the eldest daughters Birthday was today- Just couldn't break away-

The FTD Eternal Affection Arrangement

Dave and Cathy, your father was a fine man, one with dignity and honesty. He tought our boys good work ethics. He definitely is a man to look up too. He rests in Heaven now.
The Wildman family

David, Kathy, & Grandchildren, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father/grandfather. Know that he is happy and at peace now with his Margie. May GOD comfort you and give you the strength needed at this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
