In Memory of My Dad -

No one on this planet had a bigger heart or loved more then you Daddy. During your last few days,as I put my hand on your chest and felt your heartbeat, hoping you could hear me I said...it's what's in your heart that counts and what's truly in your heart is what lives on..so you will always be with me wherever I go...I miss you every minute of every day, but I know you are at peace and are in good hands with Ma. I was there when you left this world and handed you over to the one person I'd trust with your care. I can live through the loss of you knowing that you are at peace and are happy. You will always be my Daddy. Love you..."Your poopsie"

Cindy, Mark, Debbie and Tina - My family's sincere condolences at the loss of your dad and my uncle. We were totally surprised by the news of his passing - had not idea about the hospitalization leading to his death. He had such a winsome and memorable sense of humor, wit and charm which made all our lives richer and more colorful. I so looked forward, with complete enthusiasm, to your family visits to 'the farm.' Without question, he was a cheerleader for all the members of his immediate and extended family.

God's peace.

Your cousin, John
