I can't believe it's coming on 6 years. I miss you. I think of you when I feed the squirrels, Tell people how The Peanuts & Charlie Brown is special, how we drove you crazy about the Wizzard Of Oz. Our early morning phone calls we had. I hope you are catching up with Kyle & Ron while Franchasca is sitting on your lap. Love you and miss you very much.

My Uncle Bill was always a man of few words...But you always knew there was more going on there. He seemed kind of tough on the outside, but inside he was a gentle, kind man.. He always made me laugh, he was always quick to find the humor in any situation, cracking a joke with that twinkle in his eye. I will always remember our summer vacations on Long Beach Island, our hunting trips ,the countless cookouts and pool parties in the backyard and the burned toilet seat...
God Bless Uncle, I will miss you, and I can only hope for peace for you and your family.

My Dad was a simple man. He didn't require the finer things in life. Just maybe a beer, some time in his shed working with a piece of wood, making something, tending to his tomato plants. Always winning at cards. He never had much to say, but he was kind & helped others out. I am fortunate to spend some time with him to say my good byes. To let him know how much I loved him. For him to tell me that he loved me. I will always cherish those times. Dad I will miss you with all my heart.I love you so.
The best dad husband grandfather and person in the world
