Condolences for the family... a man that was well spirited, very funny, loving, giving, full of stories, and the list could go on. May he be at peace with his "Love" once again and now and have the ability to watch over everyone.
Good looking man and great muscles too!

Dad,
I miss you and will love you always. I hope mom isn't nagging you too much, but tell her I love and miss her too. I will be okay, because I know you were exhausted and had been sick for so long and you could no longer do the things you loved. Bruno is doing okay at Judi's, playing with Rusty and Blue but he is missing you, too. I love you Pops, forever and I will see you in the future.

Granddad,
You are one of the greatest men I ever knew. I will forever remember you as a huge part of not only my life, but making me the person I am today. Your support and advice, a stern look when I needed it, and the everlasting love you always shared will never be forgotten. I am so lucky to have grown up with you beside me, trying every step of the way to make you just as proud as I tried to make my parents. You are forever in my heart and now my angel side by side with Grandmom looking down on me and my family. I will always love you sir. You were a fighter and fought a hard fight, I'm so very proud of you for making it as long as you did. I love you now and always.
You will always live in my heart,
Dana

To a man that I have known since I was a little girl and got to know and love even more as an adult being married to his son Henri. My mother in law and him took in myself and my children and treated us as one of their own, which is such a blessing to a child being treated no differently then their own. He will be missed, the time each year spent with him was such a great time what a sense of humor so much fun to be around. Love you Dad now and always, give Mom kisses for us.

Bob aka " Dad" was a wonderful man. I felt he was just like a father to me. I have many fine memories of him, especially of the ones of him tolerating a house full of teenage girls for a sleep over. I will miss him greatly. My prayers are with the family.
