Well Dad today is the last day that I can leave you a message on the Legacy web site. I got to see my baby the other day and it was so amazing Dad!! I know you were there with me. The baby was moving around like crazy it was so funny. I got to see the arms and feet and the baby did a full turn. I wanted to call you so bad after my appt. but I couldn't and it made me really sad that I can't call you anymore and tell you things that are going on in my life. :o( I talk to you almost everyday but Dad it's just not the same for me and I hate that. One thing is that when I do talk to you it's almost like I can hear you tell me what to do. Things have been really hard for me the past few weeks and I'm hiding it pretty well. I put on a smile everyday but inside I'm crying and missing you more and more every second of the day. I look at your picture everyday, all day long. You’re on my screen saver at work and I have a picture of you, James and I by my bed so every night I look at before I fall asleep. It helps a little bit to talk to your picture. I'm scared that if I don't look at you I might forget something about you. I could never forget what you look like but I just don't want to forget anything about you or the way you look. Dad I really wish you could come back to me to all of us. We all miss you so much and James and I feel so lost without you. We want you back dad!!!!!
OUR DAD
We know this man
Who is dear to our heart
Suddenly one day
It was torn all apart
This man taught us every thing
That we needed to know
But we never really listened
Until he had to go
He gave us love
And touched our life
Its all over now
He no longer has to fight
He tried to teach us
Right from wrong
The day he left
We weren’t that strong
He is gone now
It is hard to believe
This man is our dad
Who we will never see
But we will see him again
This we know
The day will come
When its time for us to go
So, we'll hold him dear
And close to our heart
Cause the day we meet
I know we'll never be torn apart

Hey dad~ Gosh I miss you so much! I hope your doing ok. I hope your happy with the way James and I are doing things. We have been working together and there is no fighting! We both miss you so much and dad we would give up everything to have you back with us. Even if it's just for an hour. I want to hear your voice so bad, I play your message over and over again to here you but it's just not the same. Sometimes I go to call you and then I remember you won't answer cuz your not there. I do talk to you sometimes when I'm driving home from work (like we used to do) but again it's just not the same. Dad what am I going to do with out you in my life?! I wish and hope that one day you'll come to me and let me know everything is ok and that I'll be all right one day. I still feel very dark and empty inside. My heart isn't whole anymore!!! I miss you and LOVE YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!! Till the next time we see each other............XOXO Daddy’s little girl always!!!

I met John when I was a Savings Plan Administrator at Garrett. Every year I sent him a birthday card in July. I haven't seen him for over 3 years, but he was always a trusted friend. He also trusted me to receive the truth regarding any Garrett/AlliedSignal/Honeywell benefits. I know everyone will miss his humor and kindness. So will I.

John loved his family dearly; he talked of them all the time. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. I sure am going to miss the phone messages John would leave me: Hey Sandra, my scanner is not working, is WMS down? These were calls I would receive after he retired! We are going to miss his humor. I just wish he had more time to enjoy his family and his retirement!

I had the pleasure of working with John at Honeywell for 9 years and was so saddened to hear about his passing. He was a great man, I could always count on John for a funny story, he liked to joke, and made my going to work a lot of fun. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time. He will be missed by all who knew him.
