To the family of Ernest Waterwall:
Your Dad was a very special friend to my family. I can still remember him calling my Dad "wine" at the Sunday card games at your grandparent's home. He was like a relative to my family and always treated my parents with great respect. Debi, Bubba, Anna Marie, & Philip - remember all the good times. It will be difficult at first, but the passing of time will help. Please accept our condolences. God grant you the strength to remember your Dad as the vital man that he was.

Debbie, Bubba, Anna & Phillip.

So sorry to hear about your dad. I have many fond memories of him at our get-togethers over Aunt Nene’s house. I just recently came across a picture taken in Aunt Nene’s back yard where all the men posed in their white shirts and ties and of course your dad was in there. Those were some good times to which he contributed greatly.

My deepest sympathy to you and your families.

Love,
Dolly

Debbie,Bubba,Anna Marie,Phillip, and Family,

Your Dad was very special, as you know, to me and to my family. There are so many fond memories of our famous "every Sunday" get togethers at Aunt Nene's. Of course, for me as a young teenager, that meant my Sunday afternoon boxing lessons with your Dad. I have always treasured those memories with him. He was indeed a very real encouraging "coach" to me, and was one who possessed a trememdous and sincere gift of hospitality.

Please know my heart is with all of you at this time.

Love,

"Uncle" Phillip

Debbie, Bubba, Anna, & Phillip you have my deepest sympathy. I will always remember the good times we all had at Aunt Lena'a house. I can just imagine him now with your grandpa, Joe Mangiameli, and my beloved, Tom Klohn, kidding around as they used to do on Grandma & Grandpa's front porch. God Bless you all.

To all of my family,
I am sorry we can't be there to pay our respects. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and Uncle Neto is remembered very fondly. To my cousins Debbie, Ernest, Anna and Philip, I will always remember your dad as the big, silver-haired uncle working a red Webber grill and playing horse-shoes at the family get-togethers there in Sagemont. Uncle Neto was always the one to welcome us with a big smile and big hug. Amy and I saw him at Foley's one afternoon a while back and though it had been a few years since we had seen each other, Uncle Neto gave us both a big hug and walked us around the store proudly introducing "his nephew and his beautifull wife" to almost everyone there. Uncle Neto had a great spirit and we love him very much. We hope that peace and comfort are quick to come to you all.
Love, Matt, Amy, Austin & Alex

To My Cousins and Relatives, I just want to express My Sorrow for Our Loving Uncle Neto ,Father and Brother. He was an inspiration to us all. The Great Barbeque get togethers at Grandma's House and the Baseball Games with Joe and Leona. Those were the good old days. We had a beautiful life together and I will keep this in my heart and soul till the day I pass on.I am certain Kenneth has picked him up to take him to see everyone and probably there all together playing cards and dominoes.I bet he was really happy to see Grandma and Grandpa. We will miss him very much and hopefully this will make us much stronger and closer as family,Love Your Cousin Oscar, Silvia,Jeffrey,Criselda, Jennifer,Reggie,Jeremy,and Grand Daughters Maddin & Jordan!!!

To my wonderful family! I am grieving with you. Uncle Neto was always dear to me. I will always remember his laughter, and his beautiful smile. I know that he has many friends, associates and customers who appreciated him from his days in sales at Foley's department store. God bless you during this time of sorrow. Love, "Chrissy" Whitcher and family
