It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since Dad passed away. I still think about him all the time.

I can't believe it's been 7 years. I think of Dad every day. His "dad isms" are always with me. "It'll all workout dea." is one of the ones I live by.

My Dad is still missed. He has provided a legacy of love and faithfulness, and humor. I wish my grandchildren got to meet him. I'm thankful that my grandchildren will see my Dad in my sisters, my daughters and my nephews. Of course my Mom has her important part in sharing their legacy.

Grampy, I'll never forget the dinner we had at Olive Garden "you said to the waitress look why don't you go get him what he ordered if you still want to argue about it you can come back after...and she did" we laughed about that. Grampy I will always miss all your jokes and talking to you at nite...you were the best Grampy ever I'm so sad and im really going to miss you. I love you. Love Jason

I have so many good memories of my dad. He was always supportive, encouraged me to succeed and offered a comforting hug when I didn't.
My father was always so happy for every good thing that happened to me. Recently, I had VIP all-access tickets to a college bowl game. I called him several times during the event to give him updates (walking on the field, having lunch in a VIP box). He seemed to enjoy hearing about my day as much as I enjoyed the experience.
I will miss some of the simple things he often said. His voicemail messages when he would leave the message, “Hello Janet, this is your father”. Of course I recognized his voice. I will miss hearing him say, “worth a million bucks” when he hugged me. I will miss the countless times he played the practical joke “what's that on your shirt?” and taps the person's nose when she looks down. He always helped in the kitchen at any event and he could carve a turkey, pig or roast better than anyone. I will miss the look of contentment at family gatherings when the commotion of my sisters and families would swirl around him, and he would watch us and smile.
I will miss the way he would say “dear”. One word could mean so much; encouragement, comfort, love. This was the essence of my dad.
My hero My dad My everything!

Dad I miss you so much and wish I could hear your voice right now. I know I will one day but the emptiness I feel now is so painful…The reason I have so much pain is because I had such a great dad all these years and I will cherish every memory and moment we had together for the rest of my life. Dad you taught me so many important lessons in life…”you can't spend what you don't have”, “you should only have 1 credit card for emergency's only”, “Oil is just as important as gasoline”, “you don't laugh at your sister you help her”, “let it go dear it will all work out it always does”. Your kindness, calmness and thoughtfulness for others made such a difference our life's as well as many of our friends you were always a positive role model that cared unconditionally for all of us! You always had time to teach us something….I loved following you around in the basement waiting to hand you a tool or be shown how to fix something… “lefty loosy righty tighty” , “everything has its place put it back where you found it”….Dad you raised us to be able to “trouble shoot a problem methodically” and to be “independent in so many ways”, "common sense became so natural to us". You taught me how to change a flat and check the oil and drive the car. You taught me how to play golf and the “etiquette of the game” we had a blast in Myrtle beach!! You taught me how play the organ and “feel the tempo”. Dad you gave me the gift of laughter and joking your sense of humor will live on thru myself and Jason…I promise : )You had a Grampy bond that will live on forever in Jason and for that I am grateful. You both lit up each other's life and I will always cherish the love you had for each other it was special. Dad your family was always everything to you and that is one of the greatest gifts you could have given to all of us…for there is nothing stronger than the family bond! I will think of you every day. Dad I love you so much my heart is broken but the memories are what will soften the pain in due time. I Love You! 143 Christine ..your middle child : )

Dad, You've always been an excellent provider. I never felt deprived of anything. I always felt loved and secure, because I knew that my Dad had my back. I always felt safe with you. You always took the time to talk and listen to me. You taught us the importance of laughter and looking at the humor in life. You were our quiet leader, smoothing things over and loving all of us. I'll never forget you and will pass your wisdom, joy, laughter and peace, down through the generations that I touch. You were always my hero. My favorite Dad-ism is “It'll all work out dear, one way or the other, it always does.” I look forward to the day we see each other again, in heaven. I love you Dad. Love always, Denise (Popp) Farmosa.

Dad, I know I'm going to miss you everyday, but you will always be with me. I am the person I am because of the love and lessons that you have given me. Thank you for the encouragement, kindness, support, patience, and constant love that you have given me throughout my life. I will always grateful for everything that you have given me. I know that I will see you again someday, but until then, I will pass on the many lessons you have given me to your grandchildren. We will always celebrate you, and keep your memory alive in our hearts. I love you so much, and I always will. Love, Nancy

Sharing your loss with love, friendship and prayers. We will miss Bob and his sense of humor at WWGC. While he was a serious golfer he could always come up with the perfect one-liner for any occasion. I remember complaining about the mosquitos one day and he remarked.."there aren't any on the fairway!" The limit was three "zingers" per round and then Bob had to "zip it!" We'll still hear you, Bob but the limit has been removed!

I worked with Bob while I was at Lord Electric for 16 years. He was in charge of our "MIT Division". I will always remember both his electrical knowledge and his sense of humor! Rest in peace Bob.
January 1, 2015
I was not a part of Bobs personal life but I was a small part of his Widows Walk life for the past 10 years. I too shall miss his humor and wit. Spending 4 or 5 hours w/Bob twice a week you do get an opportunity to learn his inner self. We had many laughs & good times together & I will miss him as long as I live.

What a wonderful man. I will miss him very much. When I came to St. Mary's he was given the task of training me to altar serve for funerals. I had so many questions and he lovingly answered them all. Because of him I have a ministry that I love. We help people in a time of need. He helped us all be good faithfilled servants.
Thank you Bob

Alice,
Sue, Mary Lee and I met Bob on the first Christmas Eve that he came with you to Grafton Street. In those days, Christmas Eves were especially full of wonder, joy and laughter. We knew that Bob was going to fit right into the family, bringing his own brand of humor, warmth, and love. We will miss him, too, and send all of you hugs.
