Dad,
You were our hero and we have many wonderful memories. My kids are so lucky to have special moments with papa and Hunter is honored to have share his birthday with you. Tell our brothers hello from us and we know you will still protect us from heaven. Love you, dad.

I am very blessed to have my Daddy live to 93 years young which we just celebrated on July 23rd. This photo was from Mom and Dad's 70th Wedding Anniversary August 3rd. Dad was Army strong surviving WWII, a multitude of strokes, diabetes, parkinson and the loss of two sons. My Dad is truly an example of what a father should be!! He had strong values and most importantly lived for his family. Daddy, we were by your side night and day since your stroke September 2, Mom's 90th birthday just as you would have been with us if we needed you. You will continue to live on thru us and we will continue to make you proud. We will continue to love and take care of Mom in your honor till.,,,,I miss you Daddy XXOOXX Donna

Not easy to sit here and write anything while still wishing you were here. From the times of you first taking me golfing early in the morning at Green Gardens to coming to watch you enjoy your time with the guys at Bleekers Bowl. Or coming to your house to play Tripoly/monopoly to you feeding the fish with not just me but also being able to spend the time with my children. They loved you more than anything. We will miss the smile you always had, but I know you are enjoying your time to be able to have a beer with your sons now. And don't worry we will make sure Nana's hair is in perfect condition. Not only did we lose the leader of the family but we gained one hell of an angel to watch over the family. I love you Papa, and miss you like hell. Till we meet again and hit the links together for another round.
