Dad, I miss you so much... life is not the same without you. It's a month ago today that we went to that stupid Dr.'s appointment and our lives were changed forever...
Baseball season is here and I see you in my mind sitting here watching the game with me, cheering the Sox. Easter came and went and I pictured you sitting at the table telling your jokes and making fun of my cooking or something stupid I might have said and then letting out your fantastic laugh... my birthday came and went and you weren't here... I'm so sad without you. I've picked up the phone to call you a few times, only to realize your not here... I miss you so much.
Your loving daughter,
Dina Marie

His Daughter

Also a lover of art, boating, oceans, sunsets and many other things, Henry spent a great majority of his life dedicated to his twin.
The obituary does not clearly relay the importance of this relationship. How this entry is portrayed may easily be interpreted to mean Henry's twin was Henry's caretaker. This was not the case. They cared for each other, tremendously and Henry was not in need of special care, otherwise.
Having retired due to arthritis, Henry had a great amount of time to build on relationships and form new ones. These relationships flourished and he leaves behind many who love him very much.
It is unfortunate to find his life ended so abruptly and he will be sorely missed.
This is my second entry in this guestbook. My first was not published.
As I am Henry's daughter, I anticipate my comments will be left on this page.
