I don't know where, or how to begin to tell you how very much you meant to me and my family! Peanuts we all spent so much time together and I feel like I have again lost one of the greatest, most loving, and warm-hearted friends that I have ever known. Never have you been far from my thoughts and you have always been and will always remain in my heart.
My most heartfelt sympathy to all of your family. May God bless them.
I will miss you my friend!

Your kindness, generosity and humor will always be in my memories, besides being the greatest corkball pitcher. I remember the night we beat the mens team. Rest in peace and I hope we meet again one day. Love Barb

Mom,
I just have a few things to say. I will really miss you a lot, but I know you are no longer suffering and in a better place. I want to thank you for being a great friend and mentor. You taught me a lot growing up both as a child and an adult. You were always there through the good, bad and crazy times. I do not think I have ever laughed so much and so hard as we did over the years. I want to thank you for teaching me to draw and encouraging me to follow through with my art. I want to thank you for teaching me to play baseball. I want to thank you for teaching me to standup for what was right. I want to thank you for teaching me penmanship. I also want to thank you for helping me write my lines in school. I want to thank you for pulling me, and the motorcycle up the alley on those 20-degree mornings so it would start. In fact there is way too much for me to say thank you for, so I will just thanks could not have done it without you.I want to apologize for cause issues when I was younger. You know we will meet again in the future. All I ask is that you put a good word in for me and save me a seat. Say hi to everyone for me.Until we meet again.
Your loving Son, Robert John
