Dearest and greatest Uncle- Peanut, you left this world way to soon. There will forever be a void in our days, years, and lives where you once were. Today, as I start to choke on my sorrow missing you, I can't help but smile as I recall all those treasured moments you lovingly left us with. They will never fill that void, only make it seem not so vast.
You will forever be honored, forever be missed, forever be loved!

Peanut was a great cousin and friend. We use to spend a lot of time together when we were younger and knew each other well. I never knew Peanut to hurt any one. He was always there with a laugh to make you feel better. I wish I was able to have spent more time with him in the later years. He will be missed and I pray his family will remember the good time and recover from this loss without much pain.

Aunt Amy,
uncle peanut can be rocognized as a kind and great man; but to us he will always be known as the greatest uncle that one could ever ask for. Throughout our lives he was always there, both bad times and good. He braught much laughter and happiness to family gatherings ,and made them a little less boring. Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthdays will never be the same. We will always remember him as the greatest friend, man, and uncle in the world. There will always be a spot for him in our lives and family. We love you lots and stay strong!
With much love and sadness, your nephews David, Robert, and Jamie

I mourn the loss of my friend for 30 years. I will miss him evey day of my life. When it snows the first time I will think of him,when it is Christmas and I make peanut butter fudge,I will think of him. When I hear a good joke I will think of him.When I think of him,I will think of his wife being the most perfect match for him and how she loved him. I love her for that. I WILL MISS HIM!!! PJ
