Your dad was a kind, caring, giving, loving man. I have lots of fond memories(trying liver for the first time yucky) Great Adventure trips, the cabin, the dogs. But most of all I'm so glad he decided to move next door to my family. Never a dull moment in our neighborhood. My heart goes out to you and your family. Love you much my friend. Love Tracey Dennis Bartholomew

Louann and family. My heart goes out to you all. Losing a loved one is never easy but watching them suffer is even harder. Your Dad is finally at peace, no more pain. Now the pain is with you for the time being. You know it never gets easier but the fun times and cherished memories win out. I so enjoyed meeting your Dad and could see why you loved him so much. All my love and prayers.
