Dear Dad...
My heart aches , but my mind knows that you are at peace now and will be always watching over all of us kids. I have so many memories that I will always carry with me as my personal treasure, from you on that massive tractor bailing hay all over the countryside, us fishing in Canada and the family picnics out by the pond and so many, many more. I know that you're keeping an eye on us all and not in any more pain. You will always be in my heart Dad. Love Bob

I am going to miss our political rant sessions. We had some great ideas on how to solve the world issues-had we been given a couple hundred years I'm sure we would have changed the world! I've cried a lot of good tears this past couple days. You and mom truly provided me with more than what a kid could expect. Rest easy papa Al. You will be missed! Love you bunches-your little "Donnie Rae"

Memories of his pipe and smell of his tobacco when we went to the farm, in later years his good natured ribbing that he as a Welch's grape grower was paying me too much!! Will miss you Uncle Al.
