Hi Dad, I just couldn't write on the 21st. A whole year has past and I still find myself driving to the Woodmere. Maybe its the thought of better days gone by. I hope that stops soon, I'm really going out of my way! lol Your birthday was a real BLAST!! I think you heard all of us, Right? I can just imagine you yelling at us, saying "What the hell are you doing here? It's frigging cold, get the hell home, but it was great seeing you all, be careful going home, love you guys" The holidays were a little rough without you, but all the little things you would do or say stays with me. It's kind of nice, everyday something comes up to reminds me of you. Thanks for the great memories. Love you always, miss you more!

January 23, 2014

I was thinking about you yesterday while we were driving home in a big SNOW STORM!
1 YEAR - Hard to believe! MISS YOU!!

We kept Mom pretty busy during the holidays this year, Storybook Land, Tree Lighting, Santa Vists, and of course SHOPPING - boy did we miss you on Black Friday, just wasn't the same and Jamie REFUSED to have tea ready for us when we got home! I was a tough Holiday, missed you.

January 23, 2014

OK Pop, now we can say hello anytime we want!

I hope you hear me when I listen to "My Way" - as soon as the song starts - EVERYTME - I send my "Hey Pop" out to you.
Love you and Miss you

Hey Pop,
Sorry I haven't written but you know how things are. I can't believe that you are gone. As you know the boys ask about you and wonder how you and Uncle Chalie are doing. I just tell them you are living it up. Today they are honoring your memory in the annual AKP memorial services. Wish I could be there but know I am there in spirit. The whole family is going to be there not only to support your memory but also to embrace the time we got to spend with you. Love you always and will miss you forever,
Love
Candi (you are still the only one)

Hi Chal, Happy Birthday Sweetie!! Still missing you. Love you Susie

April 5, 2013

I haven't had the heart to write. I was so mad at myself for not getting my license before you were gone. But as you know I got it, everything is working out well. Of course it is lonely driving to work alone. I think of you ALL the time, a little too much if you ask a normal person. But every move I make while driving, I think about our talks, what I should and shouldn't do on the road and cursing at people when they drive stupid. LOL. I really wanted you to be my first passenger, thanks for not letting it snow on my test day. I love you and miss you. Talk to you soon.

April 4, 2013

Just need to say "hi Daddy" miss you, love you

April 3, 2013

I want to see your face, I want to talk to you and I want to hear "hi sweatheart" again,and again. MISSING YOU,and love you more

February 21, 2013

Wow, one month. Can't believe it. Part of me feels like its flown by, but the other part feels like its been forever since I've seen and talked to you. I hope you've found peace and comfort. I have to be honest, although I wish I could have you back, I'm so glad your not suffering any more. It was really tough to see you go out like that , Pop. You didn't deserve that at all. But man did you fight, up until the very end. I can't say it enough, I'm honored to call you my Pop-Pop. I love you always and FOREVER!!!!

Words can't describe how I feel right now. I have been so lucky to call you Pop-Pop. I have been there with you a lot lately, and it is going to be so weird to get back to life with out you. I hope Mom-Mom knows we are here for her, and all she ever has to do it ask and we will do anything she needs or wants us to. People have said as time goes on this will get easier, I'm not sure thats possible. We will see. I love you always and forever Pop-Pop. Love Kelly Ann Barber

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. May God and time heal your broken heart and may all the fond memories carry you on.

Dad you are the best. I promise to continue to be myself and most importantly I will continue to respect all who I come in contact with. Please tell Charles, Kate and Elsie we think of them every day. You are truly the best father ever. Your life long guidance and mentoring could not have been any better. No one could have 8 children where each one of us truly thinks we were your favorite.
We will all look after MOM every day. But let me tell you she is more like you then you think.

I'll miss you.

All my love.
