Grandpa,
I just wanted to say, that I made it through high school and going to college already. I really wish you were still here to have been to my graduation, and to enjoy the moment with me. As I sit here and try to type this I can't help but feel sorrow that you couldn't be here. This was something I should have said on graduation day, but didn't cause I was caught up in my own thing with my friends. And I just want to say lastly, that I love and miss you so much and that I wish we were back 13 years when we were living in Ottisville right next door to you.

He wasn't a perfect man, he wasn't always nice, he wasn't always there, he was too busy many times. He was grumpy, irritable, strict and tough. He was also my friend, my adviser and my teacher. He was more to me then I could possibly say. He was always there when you needed a helping hand doing whatever he could. He was a saint on earth to me. He could make you laugh at a some of the worst times. He was generous, gentle, loving and nice.
Even though nobody can be a perfect human being, you will always be the perfect father to me. I will love and miss you forever dad.

I didn't know the guy that well. What I hear is that he was a great guy, and a great person. I'm sorry that he had to leave, and I hope that he is enjoying himself in whatever he is doing. I wish the family good-luck, and a Merry Christmas.

I've tried many times to write down my thoughts and feelings.This is the hardest it has ever been for me to do so in a way that can fully implement my emotions in a positive way.At first when the news of my grandfather's passing reached my ears,my mind shut off and I did my best to ignore everything going on in my life and focus on the things I knew were coming that needed my attention first and for most.I locked my door and shut off my light and laid with a stuffed moose that my grandparents had given me the Christmas of 2004 and remembered moments when I was younger and living the next door over from them.I was 9 when my family moved out to Sparrow Bush NY and was too young to fully understand that it would mean less time with the family that was always right there with me as I grew up.I remember the most about all the reprimanding that he did to me and my younger brother about the little things,thinking about how right he was about it."No running on the blacktop,where are your glasses?,don't throw the snow back into the driveway,stay away from the barn,where is your jacket?,don't ride your bike next to the cars,don't play in the fields or near the bushes" those are the words I remember the most,now thinking about it,he really did look after us.Always caring about others in his family before ever stopping to care for himself.My grandfather has given me Christmas more than once,when my own family was tight on cash and couldn't support ourselves properly,he was there whenever I got seriously ill or hurt too.During the summer he would give us ice cream,and in the winter fruit and twizzlers were my favorite parts.Things,and people change as time goes by,it can't really be helped.I wish I hadn't and had listened to him the many times he told me to do things that I ignored.I know he was only looking out for me,but he is my family,I wish I took more time out to call him more often or find ways to go visit him.Even if me and my grandfather never talked,just being around him always would make me feel better and I always wanted to make him proud of me.I know that I was angry,but half of me was glad too,when I was visiting him in the hospital and at the home I could see he was suffering,I wanted to tell him so much and ask him many things but could never find my voice to ask him.Like about his life,what he did, but most of all I wish I knew if he was proud of me for anything.
I would do anything I could to take away the pain others feel,but if it helps anyone at all,I think that Grandpa is now the security guard at heavens gate making sure that when our time comes our path is safe and inviting.I love you all,with all my heart,no matter how near or far apart we are.Please know it and Believe it.

My grandfather was one of the best among men. He strived for his family, and tried to be a father to all his children. In some ways, hes still here, sitting beside us, even though he is gone, nothing will change, because, in all rights, hes here with all of his friends and family. He guides, and never leaves us.
No matter how we tried to act appropriate in front of him, he always got us all laughing around the table at Christmas parties, or family reunions by cracking a joke to break the quiet. He always tried to make everyone feel at home, and always succeeded, his home, felt like ours, his warm love towards all the family made everything better. No matter what happens between the others in the family we will all always be together till the end, and he will stay with us till our own end, and even farther into the future.

Marilyn and family,
Gary and I were so glad we came to see George last month. We had a good visit. He knows we love him and for this we are grateful.
Our hearts are heavy and we know George did not want to leave you, but he is now resting in peace.
We were so touched with the childrens' thoughts and know without a doubt he loved them all unconditionally. He was blessed also to have "rediscovered" you.
You can all be very proud of your Husband, Dad, Grandpa he was truly an asset to our family and any organization he belonged to.
Rest in peace King George you deserve it.
We love you. Gary, Jackie and family

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
