A husband, a father, a grandpa too,
This is the legacy we have from you. You taught us love and how to fight, You gave us strength, you gave us might. A stronger person would be hard to find, And in your heart, you were always kind. You fought for us all in one way or another, Not just as a husband not just as a father. For all of us you gave your best, Now the time has come for you to rest. So go in peace, you've earned your sleep, your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep

we love and miss you grams...u have tought me alot..you will always be in my heart..

love kaitnn and jake

I cannot think you're not alive somewhere.
I think of you just as I did before.
No sudden gust of wind has closed the door
Or made your presence vanish in thin air.
I write you this because I know you're there;
That even after death there must be more.
So does faith one's inner sun restore
After bitter darkness few can bear.

Love you lots...grampa
love Sarah and Jacob

Thank you to everyone that has left such kind words about my grandfather. Anyone that knew him was well aware of how great a man he was and there is no need to get into his achievements. Grandpa, you are going to be "greatly" missed. I love you.

I only met Mr. Ginley once at the funeral of his late wife. Yet, I felt like I knew him well. His daughter and my co-worker, Beth Kish, shared many wonderful stories about her childhood with Bernard. I know Beth and her entire family will greatly miss such a wonderful man. My prayers are with you all.

and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.

"Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the aweful grace of God."

Dear Family,

Uncle Ginley was a happy part of my life and memories. A very kind, generous and positive person who will be missed by many. I always remember him letting us go to the show - He gave us candy and the run of the Southern Theatre - He welcomed me into his home and treated me like one of the family - A true Gentleman.
