There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from Heaven and spend the day with them just one more time, give them one more hug, kiss them goodbye or hear their voice again. One more chance to say I Love You. In remembrance of all our loved ones who are not here...gone but never forgotten! ?

God's peace be with all your family - you will be missed, dear brother.

Dad...
Today has been a month, but it only seems like yesterday, that, you left us. It’s so hard to believe that you’re really gone. And to know that we will no longer see your smiling face, or hear the sound of you’re voice. You left so many memories, which will never part. You will always live deep inside our hearts. We are thankful that God graced us with someone as special as you. It’s just hard to believe. Your life on earth is really through. You will always be on my mind and forever in my heart.

Richard and I worked together at Continental Bank/Chase Bank for several years. We were the same age and both of us had been in the Navy. We all loved his sense of humor. For his 50th birthday, we brought in a cane and walker, some Polydent, ex-lax, Preparation H, Doan's Pills and other "old age" things for him. The office was filled with laughter through the day when he acted the part, hobbling around, grinning, with the walker and cane. Good times! Since then, we corresponded by e-mail through these years, and visited a couple Christmas times when I'd stop by with carols on my accordion. He was a super person and a proud patriot. I'm sure I can speak for the entire bank team offering deepest sympathies to Ellen and the whole family.
