Your dad had such a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed the happy times we spent with him on his birthday. I still haven't quite gotten over losing your mother (my amazing sister) and your dad is missed as well. I love each and every one of you kids, John, Jeff and Jimmy. Don't be strangers and keep in touch.

John, Jeff, Jimmy, you have lost two special parents and a brother-in-law in a short period of time. I can remember the good times as a teen until adulthood that I shared with my sister and brother-in-law. My deepest sympathy for your families. Know that Uncle Jim and I love you very much even though we have not seen each other for a long time. God grant you comfort as you grieve the loss of your father.
