I love you with all my heart. When you died, a part of me died with you.You were always there for everyone and never complained. You were
my partner and friend who would always listen. I need your guidance now, as I have many decisions to make. I hope you and Erika spent your
80th birthday playing domino's, cards or just having fun. Erika always made a smile appear on your face. She was always such a happy granddaughter with us. I.m trying to be brave, but I don,t know how long
I can last. I will see you both soon.
Love forever to you and Erika

To my Dad...I know that we really didn't spend alot of time together over the years, but not in anyway was I not thinking of you and please know that I Love you so very much, and when I was here with you and Diane and Ricky and Nancy (and family), I will always remember the laughter and the good times we all shared together. You could always say one thing, "THERE WAS NEVER A DULL MOMENT" and watching you laugh so much was the best thing ever, besides be here with you. I Love You Dad and I will miss you so very much and please know that I am so very proud that you are my Dad.

Love you with all my heart
your daughter, Billie-Jo

Pop,
words cannot describe the sadness i feel within my heart. you were such a loving and devoted man who did anything and everything for anyone no matter the circumstance. you were someone whom i looked upon for guidance many a times and always loved hearing the many stories you shared with us throughout you long amazing life. I wish I was able to say goodbye or see you again someday but unfourtunately i wasnt able to but always know, you were there for my entire life up to this point and the fact that you took on the father and grandfather role to people whom you didnt have to and for that i say thank you from the bottom of my heart. you always treated us as if we were your blood family even when you didnt have to. The holidays are coming soon and that was my favorite time because we all got to spend them together, now instead of one extra empty seat, we now have two. Please watch over us through all the hard and trying times in the near future and may you take care of erika and give her a hug and kiss from all of us down here. You can finally be at peace and be with your mother whom you never got to meet. love you always and forever pop and may you rest in eternal and everlasting peace.
love,
"Little" Ricky

Bruce,
You have been a special part of our family for years and will be missed by everyone. It's always to soon to say 'good bye' so in Maude's words 'so long' for now---we will meet again.
You have been a wonderful father, grandfather, son-in-law, uncle, brother-in-law, friend, and especially a devoted husband to my sister for 37 years. I promise there will be no floors to clean in heaven, and you will have a box seat to all the Yankees games with a cold Bud in your hand.
Erika now has her Poppy to look over her and we are comforted to know that she is in your arms again. We will hold you in our hearts today and forever and cherish the memories we have shared along the way.
Paul, Kath, Michael, Matthew & Kevin

Honey,
Part of me has been taken away, but I know you loved me and all your
family and friends. We had our ups and downs as all married couples
have, but we weathered thru them all. I love you and am trying to remember' all the beautiful memories (Our trip to Nashville with Ray @ Phyllis, Our trips to Maine with Jim @ Nancy, all our trips to Florida and Pine'
Island, All the good times at Sun Valley camping). You were the most
caring and loving person who never complained about anything and
who always thought of me first. I will always love you and I don`t know'
how I will go on without you. Everyone has been wonderful and we
are very lucky to have a great family and some very special friends. I
will truly miss you. You were my soul mate and rock who I could
always count on.
Say hi to Erika and tell her we all love and miss her.
Love Forever,
Di
