You were a great Dad and I miss you so much. Not a day goes by I don't think of you. I've been told I have alot of you in me and that's a complement. You would be amazed at all the peoples lives you have touched. I know I was. I only hope to touch as many as you have. You will always be with me. Love forever your daughter Carol son-in-law Darryl and grandson Tyler. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Jack and I were good friends and always will be. I first met Jack over a deal, what else? We continued to make deals over the years, but the best deal that I ever made was having him as a friend. We shared the same interests and had so much fun and enjoyment going out every day living life. We usually always started out with breakfast, then began our day afterwards going to who knows where; the nursery (looking for trees and shrubs), the pawn shops, garage sales, used car lots, Don's (the mechanic), music stores (Jack loved his music and good sound), and sometimes we even found time for the slots. These times, I will never forget, and I will always cherish their memories. Jack was a close and dear friend who I will always remember. Until we meet again.

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.

Lou: I just heard about Jack from another customer who knew him and I was saddened to hear that the mustard packages at the restaurant outlived him. Now how will I get rid of those darn things`É. Our deepest, deepest sympathies. We will miss him terribly. Your friends at the Uptown Restaurant, Slamming Sam and Jim.

Lou-Ann and Family,

So sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. He was such a sweet man. I knew him as my favourite customer at Canada Trust @ Everts many years ago. He would call me his sweet fart! He always had a smile on his face and enjoyed making us laugh! And I'll never forget when I quit Canada Trust and yet a Christmas card came to my house from your family.....how nice that you remembered me. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
