Miss you every second of every day, dad..

Hi Dad,,I just wanted to let you know that my children,,,,,and me your last living male heir have had a lot of good thought......from Verda and I have have you 4 grandchildren and as of now one great grandchild,Alexys......i feel it is my job and I'm taking with vigor to tell the generation in the future, our families history. I have the sources and the ambition to do the job for you and mom...thankyou for being my dad, I won't let you down,,,,,until we meet again,,your son ,mike

I will never forget when you already had crossed the highway, I was driving daddy in his truck ( that he was so proud of ) I said hold on dad ! I put my foot into it with the pedal to the floor and we took of with the tires smoking, Screeching...
The back of the truck whipping side to side.It was like the Dukes of Hazard flying across the highway in the air! When we landed I thought daddy was going to be mad.Instead I look over and he was laughing and yelling go Charlee.He said to me holding my hand thanks Charlee for the best ride ! and winked at me like he always did when we were joking around.Im going to miss the special times but i can always go back and remember because they are in my heart.Love you daddy.
Charlee

Hey Daddy...well we are going on almost a year since you left us. I have mom with me and she is doing great! She misses you and Greg every day. She is taking care of all the fur babies and that helps her heart.

Hi Dad, I just wanted to let you know that even tho you and I had our differences as father and son sometimes do,,,,it's funny how the things you said to me during those father and son talks we had back when I was a young adult didn't fall on deaf ears....I owe a very lot of my success in life to your talks,even tho I didn't realize it early on in life,but I do now,. And i know and feel you were proud of me .I remember my first fish I caught with you.the summer of 1961 at the boise cascade log pond in yakima, I was 6 yrs old ,oh boy! I also remember the first time you said that you said you loved me out loud at a diner at cannon beach,even tho I always knew you did all my life.....dad I've never been very religious in life,but I do believe in God and I know you are with him and I know that I will see you and him some day. You have my admiration cuz now i realize that when I was a young man I felt that I was always being tested by you because I was the first born.Now I know in a lot of ways you just wanted me to try not make mistakes that other people make.....you did love me ,and showed it in different ways that you knew how to ....I love you too!.I miss you! And i will always remember you!Anchors Away Dad ! Your son, Mike

My world is not the same anymore ..I miss you so much dad..the pain is so unbearable <3

I have only known you since October 2016. But the time that I have spent with you, you have made me feel like I was one of your daughters. I miss you so much and it makes my heart skip a beat everytime I think about when I would walk into the same room your eyes would light up and you would say "Hi Ann". Life is just not the same without you. XXXOOO

I'll miss you Wilbur you always made my day when you would come into the bank and we would chat. I'm praying for Doris. You rest easy Wilbur I going miss you buddy

Dad...I miss you more then anything in this world. You were always there for me and loved me unconditionally. I know you were always so proud of me.. I was so very blessed to have you as my father..Yes, you are my "strong" dad and I will be forever grateful that I was given you as my daddy. Missing you so much that my heart hurts..I will be strong and take care of mom. I love you dad.. Lorrie <3
