Almost 43 years old and all I can think of to say is "I want my daddy".

Had a real nice time Fathers day, everyone was here,too much food,kids running around everywhere,the women were sitting around yakking and the guys were sitting around talking about the women sitting around yakking. Typical Fathers Day, just missing one thing...

Love you,

Barry

Hi dad, you would have been 77 today and I wanted to wish you a happy birthday! We visited the grave today and we sure do miss you. Its so nice up there, you really picked a great place. Today was a beautiful day too, the only thing missing was you. But I am glad we can come see you when we can and at least say hi once in awhile. It seems to help a little. I miss you and wish you were here.Happy birthday, love Barry

Dad, you would have gotten a big kick out of little Clara with her new Barbies and Tyler running around the yard, full speed, tireless as always. Pam's dinner was great as always and just like when we were kids Bob was sick at Christmas! Everything was perfect except for the fact that you weren't there sitting in your chair at the house or over at Bob's drinking coffee and saying " OH BOY" after opening every gift. I'm so glad for all the good memories I have of you at Christmas and I wouldn't change a thing unless we could have you back for one more Christmas, but then I would hope for just one more and on and on. I miss you so much but I'm so glad you are where you are and thats what I hold on to, and wait....'til then

well Dad, I didnt even know about this web site until now. Just as its about to expire I figure to write this anyway! You were the best dad to ever walk the earth. This is so bittersweet to me because I am so glad you no longer are suffering but I miss you terribly. I will always treasure your sense of humor because you passed it on to me. The mark of a great father is a child who wants to be like him. I just hope your shoes fit. I love you and miss you so much. Thanks for hearing me at the hospital. I will see you when I get there. Your Son forever Barry
