I hope you got my letter gramps, I hope someday someone will find it. Went to Door County, WI for a long weekend in July. Lake Michigan was absolutely beautiful.

I was determined to get your letter out there. Took a ferry out to Washington Island, it was truly gorgeous. There was a (replica) of a Viking Church on the island, I got to write about you in the prayer book they had. I felt you all around on my trip... almost like you were on this adventure with me.

The ferry ride to and from the island was about 30min, at the halfway point on the way back I tossed your letter out into the Great Lake Michigan. The second tossed that letter in, I felt so much peace. Happy tears. So grateful to have felt your presence on my adventure. I hope you had fun too, hehe.

I miss you so much. I love you. From the moment my letter went in, I knew we´ll meet again. Til then- yours, Bailey.

"Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree.
So she may know where I am sleeping,
And perhaps she´ll weep for me."

You and grandma sure did create a beautiful life together, all because two of the best fell in love. We all mourn your loss so greatly as it was you who gave us a foundation and wings- never falling short of encouraging us to fly. And of course picking ourselves back up when we fall and tryin´ again.

I will miss you forever but you live on in the hearts of us all, I find solace knowing Heaven needed you first to start building us all a place for us to meet again "up `yonder" as you´d say. A little part of me left with you as you departed onto your next journey. Your work here is done.... Mighty fine job, grandpa. Well done.

Your legacy cannot be matched, only greatly missed and fondly remembered- how lucky was I to have shared a little piece of this lifetime with you. Time flies.

See ya when I see ya. Keep an eye on me, gramps. I love you.

Your Darlin´, Bailey.

Rest In Peace, Gene. You truly were one of the good ones. I love ya, Old Man!

Happy Father´s Day, Dad! I know you are watching us, keep sending us signs! Love You So Much! Patty

My grandpa was one of the hardest working men I've ever known. When he visited on what was supposed to be a vacation he was always trying to help out. I'll never forget the times we had together. The playing guitar and fiddle and family events. He will be missed and I wish things ended differently but I know he's in a better place now. Love you grandpa.

Gene was a wonderful man. Whenever I would stay the night at Jolene's he and I would watch The Midnight Special after everyone else had gone to bed. He loved watching and talking about the new music groups. I am grateful that we had those times together. I am so sorry that he is no longer with us.

I remember that good man! We spent many childhood hours with your Dad and Mom!! I´m praying for comfort for you all! Hugs!

Oh, grandpa. The best man I´ve ever known- from my first breath to your last. Adios my sweetest friend, you´ll always be my sunshine. I know one day we´ll meet again. Thank you for everything. I love you always!

I´m going to miss you so much! I love you greatly and you were always my best friend. You will always be my sunshine! See you later alligator.

Rest in peace Uncle Gene.

Love you forever, grandpa <3

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Amy and Sandy, know how sorry I am. Gene was a wonderful man.

We are sorry for your family's loss. Jolene, I know how much you loved your father and the memories you hold so dear. Roxanne & Dave

I will miss you everyday for the rest of my life! I Love You, Daddio!
