He was a very kind and funny man. He was a loving husband and talked of her often. Oh how he missed her. They went everywhere together. How wonderful to have a marriage like that. I miss his visits. He is missed by oh so many. Rest In Peace my friend.

I cant imagine growing up without the presence of the Gleason family in my world. I'm sure somewhere up there Dad and Elmer Bear are still trying to put together that perfect team. I can still hear that chuckle whenever he came in the office and I'd refer to him as Elmer . What a really dear person he was to so many people. Reggie just reminded me that he was one of his childhood heroes. Now thats a colorful character. Thank you Skippy for taking such good care of the bear in these last few years. My heart goes out to all of you.

Papa, There's an emptiness in my heart that only you could fill. You were the Dad to me after my own was gone. you were my dearest friend,My hunting n fishing buddy the one I loved to go on excursions thru the woods n old back roads of Maine. I enjoyed our little jaunts as well as the all day ones where I cooked our lunch beside the road somewhere. You would point out old farmsteads,no longer there n tell the stories of their people. I learned so much from you. Altho I know the Good Lord wanted you with Him so did I want you here. You are n will be greatly missed. Love you Papa.R.I.P
