Dear Dad,
You peacefully closed your eyes on August 4th, 2024 - I miss you dearly!
I was very fortunate to have these last three years, with you close by in Darien. My children Spencer Jr. and Genevieve were very lucky to have their grandfathers presence, humor, wiseness and loving support as they came and went from Hidden Meadow.

I miss you entering my home, ready for the Darien Times to read, handing you a drink and something that YOU enjoy to eat. Let´s not forget about turning on the chanel you always wanted to watch....
What will I do, I can not fix your belt, shirt collar or give a quick comb to your hair no longer? Your space on the couch will always be yours and I will forever keep you in my prayers and tell you everything! And boy did I love telling you everything- you listened to it all and always replied with a funny realistic remark.

I always loved making you happy, look good and be comfortable . Every outing, meal together, our childhood days in Vero Beach to days in the Abacos in the Bahamas, to Italy to Blue Hill, Maine. You were a wonderful father, worked hard to provide for us all, gave us unbelievable opportunities and education and enjoyed every aspect of family gatherings. It will never be the same without you around ....but each meal, holiday, gathering, special moment for your grandchildren´s lives, we will send you a SKOAL and will remember you.

Elissa and I promise we will take great care of Nigel and Mom and your favorite, my Havanese Benito. He will forever wag his tail and look to be fed at every meal from you.

You´re a very special man, I will miss your humor and your phone calls daily. Thank you for all. May you be at peace, in comfort, with the angels in heaven with my Gammie and Pa, your loving parents. I Love You, Amanda
