Buck,

I am very sorry to hear about Chu. I had a dream a couple of weeks ago (cannot remember many details now) of him and the ASC hanging out on your deck & having a good time. Just like those ole days. He was a good Dad.

Your Dad was a true gentleman, Ryan. I didn't know him for very long but long enough to know what a decent human being he was. You are so very fortunate that you had Helen in his life...............she has been so amazing over the years in the gentle and kind and loving way she took care of him. Never a word about how difficult it was or how tired she was......she is one in a million and she loved him dearly. May you have peace in the many memories you must have of him.

Wow! Didn't even know this web page existed until Tarien showed me. I am certainly having my ups and downs the past few weeks, but knowing that my friends remember my dad in such a cool way makes feel a lot better. Thanks everyone for remembering my pops in such an awesome way, thats exactly how he would want it.

So sorry for your loss, Buck..
I have a lot of great memories of your dad. I keep thinking of when we all went to see the Buckeyes and the Dragons play. I also keep thinking of all the great times we had on your back deck and around the fire pit.
He will be missed.

Hang in there!
Love,
Norm

Buck,

Jason tells me that your Dad died. I am so sorry to hear that. I only met him once, but he was obviously a very nice guy. My Dad died about 19 years ago and it still startles me to remember that when something occurs to me that I should tell him (typically some engineering thing that comes up; he was an engineer, too).

Hang in there. Life goes on, as it must.

Dear Helen and family,

I first met Matt on his first day of first grade in September 1962. He had been assigned to my first grade class at Fairpot Elem.

Matt was always a very attentive and obedient child. He loved reading and was always in the best reading group. On the playground he showed promise of being an athlete.

For several yeara, I kept track of Matt as his Mother volunteered and worked at Fairport School.

The paths of Matt and I crossed in April 2005 when I went for the closing paperwork of my longtime family home. Matt was the closing agent. What a surprise!!!! We talked of times past and gave each other a farewell hug as we departed that day.

A teacher touches many lives. It gives me great comfort to know that a former student has lead an exemplary life.

May the blessings of God be with you during your difficult days. May Matt be your shining example forever.

Donna Hill, Springboro OH

Some of my best memories from living in Ohio were with you guys! I was treated like family by your dad, and will appreciate that forever. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Buck and Tarien.

Matt was one of my first coaches in baseball, basketball, and football. He was always there to offer support and then joke with you afterwords. Buck, your dad will be missed; I hope him and and Howie are enjoying a cold one.
