Grandpa Fluff,
watch over all of us that you left down here, that's a big job! :) The first thing Kayli said when I told her you had passed was how much she loved and will miss that smile, not to mention that she was expecting a birthday cake with 100 candles.....We miss you so much already and can't wait to see you again. Love you, Toni and Kayli

To the McGuinn Family, I want to express my heart felt condolences to the entire family. Although I only had the privilege and joy to know this man for a short period, I will always have the memories of his sincere hand shake, his laugh, and probably most of all, his smile, It would radiate through a room in a way that would uplift all that were lucky enough to be present. He has left us all for a better place and is at peace now. Hopefully we can all fall back on the joy of those life long memories to help get through the sorrow. God bless you all and my prayers are with you.

Having too much fun! my brothers, my sister, and me!

Father, you gave to me, my sense of self, my sense of humor and my grand daughters, a sense of theirs! Most of all you gave to me, my strength, my witts, my armor, my gentle and my sense of pride to be your daughter, your student, your friend. You taught us, we could never have too much work and we could never have too much fun. When I left home, I knew where I was going, I left with nothing and thanks to you Daddy, I still have some left!
Because of you Dad,
I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
I miss you, I love you and yes, I still promise!
Love, Cynthia aka Nitter!

Dad,
I can not thank you enough from beginning to end for all that you did to guide me through life. Your tough love, desire to try everything in life, openness to every one you met, infectious laughter and biggest hugs will continue to bring a smile to my face every time I think of you. Thank you for giving me the strength and tenacity to get through anything. With my deepest respect and gratitude I pray that God takes you gently into heaven. I will miss you everyday. Love you, Sha Sha
