Andrea, Brian and Sue, you have Wayne and my every wish for comfort and grace to get you thru these rough times. Your Dad was such a sweetheart always having someone else feelings involved with his doings. I never forget how he came to so proud that he had done such a good deed for me. He says "Carol, I took care of those loud wheels on Mike's big wheel. It crushed him when I yelled back "how could you, that was how I know where he is," And now he is with your Mom. What a joyous reunion. Much love to you...

Brian, Carla, Chris, Tony, Andrea,
Mr. Cable and I are saddened to hear, from our daughter Shari, that your Dad had passed. Your Dad was a great neighbor and friend, always smiling and ready to stop, chat and help if needed. Both he and your Mom enriched both ours and our children's lives on Bel Air Drive. You, their children, were their pride and joy, be comforted in their love.

My deepest sympathies to you at this time. I know it is difficult and the love you show for your father and family is wonderful. You all emulate that and I am sure he is proud of each of you. Know that you are loved and always thought of well by so many. Your father's love, smile and memories are reflected in you everyday. Cherish that. Share that. He will live forever in you.
Much love to you all,
