It's been a while since I wrote. This July is going to be 8 years. I still can't believe you're gone. I dream about you all the time! But I am mad at you. Asking why you haven't been around? Why haven't you visited? It feels so real. You Always tell me, I am busy!! Then you laugh. Always wearing the same thing....Blue shorts, t-shirt with a wind breaker over that, and your hat. I miss you dad. I'll promise Dave I'll come to visit soon. Lauren and I came and had a picnic on Father's Day. I love you, love you, love you!
Love always & Forever

It has been a struggle in the last 9 months, but if it wasn't for a wonderful family, we would all be crazy. I want to thank my family and friends for helping us deal with the pain. I want to tell my Dad that I love him and miss him dearly. "Always look out for #1 and don't step in #2".

It was very different on Thanksgiving. Going to my Aunts house and our dad wasn't there. It was a sad moment but we just had to give thanks for being with other family members. These holidays are going to be tough, but our dad would want us to be strong. We just want to thank everyone for writing in his guestbook,and for everyone being supportive at his wake and funeral. Thank you for coming, he would really appreciate all the friends and family that cared for him. He will be loved and missed dearly. WE love you daddy aka *HOMER*!

If Tomorrow never Comes...
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep.
I would tuck you in tighter and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say love you, instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, well I'm sure you'll have so many more so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right. There will alsways be another day to say our, "I love you's," and certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?" But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved on tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, that you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So always hold them dear. Take time to say I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, or it's okay, and if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
We miss you!
Love,
Nancy and the kids

I was very distraught to hear that a wonderful man who loved his children and cared alot for others has been taken away from those of us who admired him. He always managed to put a smile on me and was very supportive to my daughter, Gina, when we all met in a T-Ball league in Brookfield. My wish for Keith, Amy, Brent, Lindsay and Lauren is to think of him everyday and remember those great times you each had with him. Through these memories he will live forever in your hearts.

We had the pleasure of meeting the Wollenberg's in 1987 when Keith and my son Leif met in 4th grade at Lincoln School. My family and I will always remember Bruce for his sense of humor and love of children. If there was something going on with one of his kids he was there to watch, applaud or coach. Ready with a quick smile and hello when ever you would cross his path. Living on the same block afforded us the opportunity to get to know Bruce's family and to them our hearts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
For Keith, Amy, Brent, Lindsey and Lauren,
Memories keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought
and always in your heart, today and forever.
With our Love and concern,
Leif, Alissa, Ryan and Laurel Oliver
