Dad, The Greatest Man I Never Knew! It has taken all these years for me to write something.
I ADORED you my Father. Nobody including you could ever imagine my feelings for you. You are where you should be with God and The Blessed Mother. You always lived the way they wanted! I hurt as much today as I did from the first second you passed! I have loved you always.

Mr. Busher,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

John and I worked together up in Vermont during the Strike of '68 and he was one of the finest men I have ever met. He had a quirky expression I'll nver forget: "Women are different ya know...I want a firey Opal" Rest in peace brother.
