Hi Honey, I can't believe you have left this earth for twenty years. I miss you every day! I tell many stories about how much fun we had in the time we had together. Life can be hard at times and somehow we get past it. I often ask for your help from heaven and it seems to work. Cher and I have each other. We are always together, sometimes laughing about things you would do. Peter and Marti are always a part of our life. We talk about you when we get together, you are never forgotten. Thanks for leaving us with wonderful memories. I love you!

Hi Honey, Time sure flies by and I am still missing you. You made me laugh everyday. We still talk about you! So many of our friends have died and joined you. John Figlar has Parkinson's disease and failing fast. Dawn McClure also has Parkinson's. I am going to CT in July to stay with her for week while Tommy goes on vacation. I have become quite the caregiver. Joe Galvin, Denny Bender and Bob Krantz have passed away. Heaven is getting full. I will always love you. We were quite the pair! Love Always, Gloria

Hi Dad, I think of you everyday. Mommy too. I think of when I was a child, I think of the memories of your love. I miss you so much. Things are not the same anymore, but I guess that's life. I miss visiting you at the condo, God, it's been so long since I've been there, but I think of it and all the memories we all created there. It's all I can do, Dad. I love you and I miss you more than you know. Love Jackie

Hi Honey, Today I could not stop thinking of you. Tom, Colleen and Tommy are here for a visit. We were all together at Cher and Cheech's house for the weekend. The guys are building a wall around the patio at our house on the lake. I could not go because I had the most beautiful memories of us together with our friends and family that my heart would break with sadness. I promise I will go sooner or later, but it is too soon! My life is so different without you! I am lonely and have a hard time sleeping. Sometimes I wake up reaching for you. I see you almost every morning just like I found you and cry! You were at peace in spite of the pain that you never complained about. Remember how we would compete about how much we loved each other? We'll I do know how much you loved me because I remember the look in your face with such sincerity when you said it. I hope you have the same feeling from me! Goodnight sweetheart and I love you more and more. Your loving wife and best friend, Gloria

Hi Honey,
I sit hear this morning reading about how many people loved you. You would have been so proud of our kids and grandchildren. They cried and laughed recalling all of the wonderful things you have done. Kathy read your uology writtten by Jackie for the kids. It was heart wrenching and funny too. She did a great job. Little Michael wrote one for the grandkids. He treid to read it but the tears overwhelmed him and Mary came to his rescue. He even mentioned Bernie. We had a few chuckles but mostly tears.
You missed the best magic trick. Dan had a trick designed just for you. It was amazing. He gave me the trick card as a souveneir and it is sitting in the cabinet. Maybe you saw it from heaven if you weren't too busy visiting!
I miss you so much and love you more, more, more and more every day. Your best friend and wife, Gloria

HI KIDS
WAS VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT MIKE.
HE WAS SUCH A TERRIFFIC PERSON AND LOVING DAD. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO PUT INTO WORDS HOW MUCH I LIKED YOUR DAD. HE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR YA'LL. HE WAS A VERY VERY KIND, CARING AND LOVING PERSON. IF HE FOUND OUT THAT YOU NEEDED SOMETHING, AND HE HEARD ABOUT IT. HE WAS THERE. HE CARED SO MUCH ABOUT PEOPLE. I DONT THINK WE WILL EVER KNOW ALL THE KIND ACTS HE DID FOR PEOPLE THAT OTHERS NEVER KNEW ABOUT. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE NIGHT THAT HE GOT DOWN ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES AND ASKED GOD FOR HELP IN SAVING JOE, AND GOD HELPED HIM AND SHOWED HIM HOW. HE WAS TRULY A REMARKABLE PERSON.
MY LOVE TO ALL OF YOU
NITA

Dear Mike,
I just wanted to say thanks for giving me a second family. There is something comforting in knowing that there are people out there who love and care about you. You're kids were absolutely the best when my mom was sick and when she passed away. They have a natural gift for taking care of others. It was also good to laugh about the old times. We have some great memories. Please watch out over your family and friends that you leave behind. And now that you're with Judi and Joan you'd better watch out! Paige (Pooh)
Dear Jackie, Michael, Colleen, Linda, Joanie, Willie and Mary (and all the grandkids), please know that we're thinking about you during your time of sorrow. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Here's a hug and kiss for all of you. And remember you have lots of friends and family that love you.

Daddy,
I love you so much Dad, First off,
please tell Mommy we love her.
Please tell everyone we have loved
that I love and miss them too.
Danny, Glen, Don & Max I know you're with them all and they're so
happy to see you. You've done so
many wonderful things for people in
your lifetime here on this earth.
You saved two lives, that I know of, and were always so humble about it and never bragged about
it to anyone. We could'nt drag
the details out of you and we tried. All you cared about when
their loved ones thanked you endlessly, was that if it was ever
one of your children or grandchildren, that someone would
do the same and help them. From the moment we were born you were always there for us, wanting the best for us. Wanting happiness for us wanting love and fun in our
lives. You worked so hard to give
us everything you possibly could,
and did. There were 2 dads in you.
One, the unpopular strict one. (We
know you got your behavior from the
army...) We were taught to respect our mother,Gloria, and each other,
to always stick together, to love
each other unconditionally. To love and care about and do for other people. We had curfews that
none of our friends had. Twenty-One years old and home by ten. We
cleaned all the time, we did everything to help Mommy every day.
We had to behave, your motto was
"Do as I say, not as I do". The
other Dad was fun, fun, fun! You
were the "Toy Man". We never knew
what in the world you were bringing
home for us next. Horses, Tennis Courts, Dune Buggies, Mini-Bikes,
Snow Mobiles, Cars, Pinball Machines, Big screen TV's when nobody else had one, You built us
a skating rink in the yard because
you were probably tired of taking
us back & forth to wonderland of Ice every weekend. You took us skating in Rockefeller center, to
Football games, You bought a motor
home and took us to Lake George,
and Yogi Bear trailer parks, To Dude ranches, You booked us all in
the Governor's Suite at the Sheraton nearby Riverside Park all summer and Weekends at the Cape & Provincetown.
You built swimming pools, Saunas,
everything! Dad, we always knew
you loved the toys, but were too busy working to enjoy them, but
it was everything to you, that we did. You even let me paper my bedroom walls with Mick Jagger and
you'd open the door and stick your
toungue out at Mick and then me and
go "Ugh!!!!". Then years later,
you acknowledge that The Rolling
Stones were great...that was so cute Dad. Then there were the
pool parties, and all of our friends who you
insisted would go on every vacation
with us! They loved you so much.
And the money...you always shelled
it out to us at random. You'd tease us and say "What do I look
like, a money machine?" Then without flinching you'd give more
than we asked for or needed.
You were so proud that you could
give everything to your seven children, and when we grew up and
had children of are own, we realized it too, Dad. Then there are the Grandchildren!!!! The sun
rose and set on them in your eyes.
You Disney'd them to death!!!! You
took them everywhere and showed them everything fun, there was to see and experience. Your Grandchildren loved you and adored
you. You were the "Dream" Grandfather. Then your Great Grandson came along and you went nuts - one of the first things you
did was by him a Dan Marino signed
football and he was under a month
old!!!
Dad, you have left us with so many
happy memories that will live on in
our hearts forever. You built those memories every moment you spent with all of us.You gave to everyone else, too.
You were so generous and you helped
people. You did so much good on this earth, and We are so proud, to
call you our father.
Your Doctor told us you had a very
weak heart. A rare heart condition that couldn't be repaired. But Dad I know and all
of us know that that Doctor was
wrong all along. You had the greatest, strongest, most generous and loving heart ever
to grace this world and the people
you loved, in it, especially us.
Our of Our love always,
Your Children:
Jackie, Michael, Colleen, Linda,
Joanie, Willie & Mary and...
Your Grandchildren: Colleen,
Jennifer, Erica, Jaime, Linda, Kaleigh, Casey, Michael, Eric & Tommy.
Your Great-Grandson: Aidan
I love you and miss you Dad,
always,
Jackie
