First things first..Happy Birthday Mom. You've been on my mind lately. I feel your spirit with me and often think back on what you accomplished as a mother and wife. Don't think we gave you enough credit and that's something I regret.
Dad, tomorrow will be 18 years since you crossed over to be with Mom, the love of your life. There isn't a day goes by that I don't think of you. I miss our talks, but I know that you can hear me when I ask for guidance. It's been a roller coaster ride these past few years! I would love to hear your take on the world today. You and mom keep watching over us until we meet again. Love you both....Nene

Hi Daddy!
Sure do still miss you! All of this crazy stuff going on in the world! But as you would always tell me, "this too shall pass"!
You would turn it around and say that we are living through a time that will go down in History and we survived.
Give Mom and Randy a hug for me.
Love and miss you so much!

On February 16th you and mom would have celebrated your 77th Anniversary. I always think it's the 14th for some reason! Anyway, I miss you both everyday. Keep looking over us and continue to guide us in the right direction. Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day! I remember the small heart shaped box of chocolates you'd bring home for us girls every Valentine's Day. Mom always got the bit heart box and a beautiful card. Memories that stay in my heart. Love you both!

Hi Daddy....NeNe beat me to the punch! It's been a long 6 years and miss you every day. I am deep in water in the basement as you probably know...what a mess. Good 'ol Gumby! Now they think the water is coming up through the foundation! First an earthquake, then massive flooding...what next...Locusts? I need your guidence and Randy's more then ever before! Did Randy celebrate his birthday up there with you and Mom? Happy belated birthday Mom! I love and miss you too! Love you all, Beet

Hey Dad..doesn't seem like 6 years since you joined Mom, but then, doesn't seem like I've just turned 65! Time is going by so fast. Steff turns 25 this month and it seems like just yesterday she was a toddler. It's been raining here for the last 3 days..big time. Can't wait for some sun. Keep the communication line open. I know I will..Love you..nene

Happy birthday Daddy....I know a little late but you knew that. It's getting cold too soon...but it is your favorate season..fall. Soon it will be Christmas, and then another year has gone by. I know you and our Heavenly Father will guide me through the trials I've faced recently. I heard a bird outside my window just now....is that a sign? Please welcome Aunt Rosemary in your arms with Mom and Aunt Ceicila. Watch over Aunt Beverly.....she is so frail and soooo sweet that she would call me. I miss you so much, along with Mom, and my heavenly angel Randy. Is he behaving himself up there? He better be! Take care and know you are still my one sourse of strength and knowledge.

Hey Dad! You were on my mind all day yesterday! Hard to believe it's been 5 years since you passed. Hope you and mom celebrated her 89th bday together on the 7th and just know that you're both loved and missed. The summer has been a hot one! Broke all kind of heat records, 53+ days temp over 90 degrees!
Winter is supposed to be cold, but not as much snow (thank God for that one!)Your favorite season is beginning and the leaves are starting to change. Have to admit, I think Fall is my favorite season too, I just don't like what follows! I keep moving forward with the help of family and friends..still have my moments but who doesn't?!?! I miss our talks and your guiding wisdom. Somehow, I know you are still with me and continue to guide me in my choices (hopefully they are the right ones!?!).Love you both..and just in case..Happy Bday..you would have been 91..Luv NeNe

Happy Father's Day!Was at Kathy's this weekend. The weather was beautiful. I was in the pool on a float listening to the birds and I remembered how you would wistle and they would whistle back. I know you were there in spirit. I miss you and pray evryday that you keep giving me the guidance and strength I need.I know you have been with me in this past year I know I can still talk with you in my mind and you will always be there. Ginny's Dad passed and Kathy and I went to his memorial on Saturday. Dad, it was outside under the trees. It was so beautiful and peaceful. It made me realize how much I miss you. You were and always will be the guiding force in my life. Keep showing me the right path to follow. Luv you!

Dear Daddy: Another year gone by and yet I still hear you, smell your pipe, and miss your loving guidence. Happy Father's day Daddy. I pray that you had a wonderful day with OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, as well as Mom, Randy and PaPa Hunt? I remember your last father's day and how we all gathered together and you got choked up on all the words of love, the gifts, and never knowing that that would be the last Father's day we had with you. But I believe you were here today....having fun, floating in the pool, and saying "wonder what the poor folks are doing right now!"...you were a Corker! Love you and miss you more than ever daddy.....

Dear Mom & Dad, Well 2009 is almost history. A year, as you well know, that brought many challenges! I would have liked to have your input on the financial crisis aka 2009 Recession/ depression and my decision to divorce Stephen. Challenges make us stronger and show us what we're really made of, right? Trying to think of a catch phrase for 2010. Any ideas?? I miss and love you both always, but especially at this time of year. I continue to rely on your strength to get me through tough times and pray you will continue to guide me on the right path. Hey! How about "Begin again in 2010!"

Dear Daddy:
Yes, late as usual with my cards, and your Christmas greeting. I was writing out my cards, and came to your name.....can't send you one anymore. Some Day I will be able to hug you Merry Christmas in heaven. I feel you and Randy with me so much these days. It never stops. Had a lovely Christmas and Tom was so thoughtful and kind. However, it will never take your places. It's been 10 years since we lost Randy and you were my Rock over those years until our Lord decided it was your time 4 years ago. I love and miss you, Randy and Mommy so much. Just one more hug, just one more joke, old sayings, and your brillient wisdom! I know you are smiling about something that has recently taken place. Guide over her and watch her. Assure her that it happened for a reason, and that MUCH better days are ahead. God Bless all of you and I'll have a stiff one for ya Honey on New Year's eve.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! You would have been 90! I hope you had a BIG celebration up there? I would have loved to have thrown your 90th here, but our Lord choose to take you 4 years ago. Did you do that "thing" in the white reckroom? I know you're around and feel you giving me strength when I don't think I have any left!
NeNe is getting excited about the cruise...she really deserves this and I want to make it soooo special for her. Please keep guiding all of us and watching over us. Your wisdom and values live on in our daily lives. I love you Daddy, and miss you every day. You were the Man I held all up against.

Got to thinking the other day that Mom would have been 88 today. God chose to take her so young. Sometime I don't think it was fair but who am I to judge. When I look in the mirror I see her face, as I'm sure you did. Happy Birthday Mom. A bouquet of gardenias for you. Tomorrow I will get up and begin another week. But you will be in my thoughts. I wish I could get your input on so many political and world issues. I reach out to you in my times of challenge and know that the strength and independence you gave me in life will guide me now. I miss and love both of you and look to the heavens for your love and guidence which is everlasting. Do you hear me? Oh, and by the way...thanks for watching over Steffanie. I know you are with her as well, keeping her safe. Love to you both! Like the plaque on your crypt says "Together Forever". Please stay that way so we can find you when our time comes! Love ya! Nene

Dear Daddy:
It seems like yesterday you were here and we would celebrate Father's day on the back porch. I picked up a pencil today at work, and remembered how ALL of your pencils were sharpened and neatly poised in a cup. You were my rock, my stength and my guiding ship, and still are. I feel you sometimes around me. I am blessed to have had your love for so long. I am blessed every day by those around me and I look up to the heavens and thank you for a JOB WELL DONE for raising me to tough it out in this cold world.
Our Father in heaven is also saying I'm sure...well done Laddie, well done. Give my love to Mommy and my beloved Randy. Miss you ...always will.

Dear Daddy, Mommy and Randy:
Well another Christmas has come and gone. It must be AWESOME to celebrate Christmas in heaven! We had an ice storm the other day....all the trees were crystalized....so beautiful. DANGEROUS, but beautiful. The gang is coming up Saturday...it will be sooooo special. This year, it's more enjoyable, more relaxed....I still miss all of you. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Honey, the other day "Charles from Kutztown" said to say Hi to you...as he was a friend of yours and Andy's ....then he caught himself and said...it seems like he's still here. The same week Donny and I guy I remembered, but not the name were reimenising on your ''FIELD TRIPS" to Vegas...how you always stoled the show and were such fun to be with...I miss that fun. That smile, and everything about the "Hunter" package. God bless, and Mom...can't wait to taste NeNe's Kiffles. No one can make your koloshi....though....any chance on some kind of divine intervention on that recipe? JUST TEASING! LOVE YOU GUYS!

I can't believe it's been 3 years since you crossed over. I miss and think of you every day. I know you can hear us when we talk to you and you will continue to be our strength and guide us until we all reunite in our Lord's Kingdom. It rained so hard from Hurricane Hanna today. But you always loved the rain......I miss the smell of your pipe, your brilliance, passion, our long talks, and picking up the phone to share with you all that is going on, as you always had the answers.
Give Mommy and Randy a kiss for me and know how much I love and miss you.

Happy Father's Day Daddy! Went to Kathy's today to celebrate the day. Tom's daughter and family are visiting and it was the 1st Father's Day she celebrated with him in nearly 23 years! I am thankful for the many Father's Days I got to celebrate with you. I miss those special times. Know that you are missed by us all and you are in our thoughts and prayers everyday, but especially today. No one could ask for a better Father and I hope you know that each Father's Day you are missed more than ever. Keep guiding me (I know you will) and know that I love and miss you. Nene

Happy belated Anniversary to you both! Ya know, today I saw an interview between Nancy Reagan and Diane Sawyer which took place last summer. Nancy was talking about when they dedicated the Reagan library and Rev. Billy Graham was there. She asked him one question. "Are you sure Ronnie will be there to greet me when it's my time?" "Yes, I'm sure" he replied. "Are you really sure?" she asked again. "Yes, I'm really sure" he replied again. I'm sure Mom was there to greet you, as you both will be there to greet all of us when our times come. Love and miss ya both! Nene

I still miss the Valentine's treats you always remembered...Daddy, you would make sure Mom had the big one with the flowers, and each of us girls got the little hearts filled with candy. Gee, it's your anniversary today.....it would be your 66th? I am sure you are still as much in love as you were that day you took your vows. What was your secret? Those beautiful loving glances you had for one another until the end. I miss you and love you both more than you know. Dad, I actually routed for a team with NeNe on superbowl Sunday! Didn't quite catch the drift of it all..but we had a wonderful time. Watch over us like you've always done and may you both have a wonderful anniversary!

Well, Kathy beat me to it, but Happy Bday! I wonder, do you celebrate in heaven? Hope you and mom are making up for lost time. I keep you both in my heart and thoughts.

Hi Daddy! Happy birthday! You would be 88 years old , and a little over 2 years old in heaven. It seems just like yesterday we were sitting outside on the back deck listening nature's summer concert....oh how you loved it out there. I pray to our heavenly Father that you are doing well and you have re-united with Mom and Randy. Remember Guy? The one that fell in the pull with his leather pants on? He is up there now and I'm hopful that Randy who knew and loved him also is showing him the ropes. I think about you every day...and always throw out those one liners you were famous for...especially the "stiring the pot" one! Yes, you live on in each and every one of us. Please watch over us as now you have 20 20 vision and the Lord has opened your eyes to His Paradise. Happy Birthday Daddy.....here is your kiss.......XXXX00000000

Someone once wrote "We are only here for a little while, so better make the best of it". I wish you could have been here just a little while longer. Two years and not a day goes by I don't think of you. I pray for your strength and guidance every day. I miss our talks. It will soon be Fall, your favorite season. It always reminds me of you.I know you are with us. Sometims I think I get a whiff of your pipe, just like sometimes I get a whiff of Jean Nate from Mom. Keep watching over us, especially now. There are issues that would not be occurring if you were here. With your help, and the help of God, things will work out. Luv and miss you! ps. Happy Birthday Mom, a day late, but not forgotten.

Hi Pop! Summer is here and last weekend by the pool was beautiful. Sometimes I think I see your image sitting in the chair under the umbrella. I wrote you on Father's Day but for some reason it didn't appear. Kathy and I went to visit you and Mom at the crypt. Your strengh and wisdom continues to guide me. An old friend of yours was asking for you, Doug Stearly. Long story, but his son bought the building and part of the business from Kem. Walt remembers you fondly. It's been rough the past couple of weeks, but I keep asking myself, what would Dad do and somehow the answers come! I miss you both. Keep sending the messages. I'll be listening..hugs and kisses.....nene

Happy FATHER'S DAY daddy! I'm sitting in the computer room, and there is this bird, perhaps a nightengale, singing his little heart out. It's a night you would have loved...a perfect one for sitting out back and "cogetating". How I rely on your strength and wisdom that you have instilled in us all. You live among us, I know that now, through every breath we take. I miss you Daddy each and every day!
Love,

May HIS Light shine upon all of us and remember to keep lookin' up for the answers...they're always there. Love, Beet

I remember Dad often. My memory of his thurst for knowledge, humor, and common sense have inspired me to be like him. That's not always what I do, but I try. In the same way, my Heavenly Father provides me great inspiration through His word. It is my prayer that those who read these words, remember Dad too. Remember also that God has the answers you are looking for. "Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends." (Revelation 3:20 NLT) Be Blessed this New Year!

Hi Daddy! Well, it's another new year, and new exciting challenges that will make us stronger and wiser, but never as wise as you. I know you continue to guide me and I look to you for direction during this short stay on earth. Have you found your little buddy Bunky yet? You also see that we are going to be loosing another member soon,....pray for her Daddy as I know she will need your help in crossing over. WOW, Tom quite smoking and is doing well with it! My turn next, but as you always said, quitting is the easiest thing to do , you did it hundreds of times! Tom said to say Happy new year...and KNOW you are having a good time! Tom also just did a "stiring of the Pot"....you know what that means!
I love and miss you so much Daddy....I'll eat your share of the sourcrout today.....

Happy Belated Birthday, Pop! I was really proud of Kathy. Last Sunday I met her at the crypt. First time she's been there since the service. But I guess you saw us. Told her she should have brought your harmonica. Miss that! Tomorrow the Eagles play the Cowboys. I miss my football buddy. The leaves are beginning to change, your favorite season. Another year about to end, but then a new year begins! Mass for you tomorrow which always brings me closer to you. Keep watching over us, and give my luv to mom........luv ya, nene

Dear Tata:
It was just a moment ago when we played pony girl upon your knee.,
Learning the word of the week, or watching me climb a tree.
Then came the high school plays, and broadcasting school,
I could always count on your golden rules.
Through broken hearts, and the loss of my mate,
You were always there to mend my fate.
A wealth of knowledge and a memory to match,
A strong character with a sensitive touch.
Happy 87th Daddy, although I still wish you were here,
To play your harmonica and whistle a cheer.
And although you are gone for over a year,
I still feel your presence, and know you are near.
I love you Daddy!
Love,
Beet

A year ago today you left us to join mom. It doesn't seem like a year has gone by. I still feel your presence everyday. I talk to you when things start to get me down. Can you hear me? I believe you can and, yes, mom too! I know you and mom continue to watch over us. Just wish we would have had more time to say goodbye, but wait, the day will come when we'll all be reunited. What a celebration that will be. Luv ya! nene

Hi Daddy!
As Tommy recalls all those beautiful memories of Germany, I too recall just last summer. You would sit out on these warm summer nights "cogitating" as you refered to it, wrapped in the soothing gentle balmy breezes.
Well, how do you like the new fence? I know, FINALLY! After 35 years, it was due! I miss you so much Tata.....I know you are always here in my heart and in my dreams.
Love,

Just returned from vacation in Europe. I remembered Dad and Mom's visit when I was stationed there nearly 30 years ago. When we visited Garmish in Bavaria this time, I remembered how they both loved the Frescos, pictures painted on the buildings, and the Castles, especially Neuschwanstein. While they are gone now from us now it is a wonderful thing, this memory God has provided us. Like a video, I can recall them in Germany. Thanks for the memory scrap book Mom and Dad!
Love Ya and Miss Ya,

Dear Daddy:
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! At mass today they had all the father's stand for a special blessing, and then said that all father's who have gone home are also with you today. I could see you standing in your favorite end pew smiling at me. Of course I lost it. I know you kept telling me you won't live forever, but now you are ...in our Lord's kingdom. I'm just a bit selfish I guess....I want you here with us to guide us, laugh with us, and just to love. I miss you soooo much Daddy. Wishing you were somehow here again.......for one more talk, one more harmonica treat, one more.....
Love,

Hi there Daddy! Well, February is almost over....and yes, you finally got to spend your anniversary with Mother.
You will be pleased to know that your car was sold to a very appreciative woman who was thrilled that she was buying "Kathy Craine's father's car"! I know she will coddle it just like you did. I miss you Daddy so much. I still think to call you about the day's events, or just to chat, but then again, you have that "heavenly" advantage in watching over us and guiding us. Nite Nite Daddy....Love you!

Just read Tom and Kathy's messages from over the holidays. Sorry I didn't write, but I guess deep down it was just too hard! The holidays have come and gone, a new year with new challenges. Sure wish you were here to talk to..I miss our talks. Did you and mom enjoy your first Christmas and New Year's together in fifteen years? Both of you keep watch over us and guide us through the year. Yikes! I'll be 60 this year! Go Figure...Love and miss you..I know you are with us in mind and spirit. Give Mom a hug..and..by the way, everytime the clock chimes I think of you and mom..nene

Christmas 2005 and New Years came and went too quickly. We all hoped that Dad might come to Texas for Christmas, and thought about him often. He would have loved the weather, very warm, but I think deep down, he missed a "white" Christmas. With every passing day, it get's better, and the memories of Christmas past are a great comfort!
We missed you this Christmas Dad but remember all the ones you made so great!
Love Ya Pop!

Hi there Daddy...
My birthday came and went and I missed your call of playing "happy birthday" as ONLY you could do with your famous harmonica. It's now Christmas Day, and I picked up the phone to call you ,,,how silly! But yet, I think you WERE here with all the wonderful family and memories at Mass. Mom, you are probably so thrilled to have him there for Christmas after spending the last 15 by yourself.
As you know by now Daddy, I lost Ishkibble Christmas Eve, the only kitty you claimed had a personality. How is he? Mom, cuddle him for me ok?
Merry Christmas you two, I know you'll be right here to help me through the New Year...
Love Beet
PS: Hug Randy for me and tell him you CAN win big on just quarter slots, but I guess he knew that right?

Kathy,
Pray you, Family and Friends of Dad are filled with Faith to deal, again, as with your loving Husband Don, with this latest great loss.
By the way my Mom is still alive, thankfully, and her birthdate is 9/14/19...only 19 days older than your Dad....Dad was a fantastic person as I see it. Sympathy to all.

Today marked 15 years we said good bye to mother...and every time you would visit her, you would pat the crypt and say, pretty soon honey, pretty soon.
I miss you sooooo much Daddy. You said not to grieve, that was a big order for a man so great in our lives. Watch over us as I know you will guiding us and helping us do the right things, the correct paths, and give Mom a kiss for me for now, you won't have to say see you soon, you've been in her arms a little over 4 weeks now. Good night Daddy, I love you.

Hi Daddy! It’s been almost 4 weeks since you crossed over and I miss you so much. It was after midnight and I had to wish you “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” as it would have been your 86th. I kept getting the birthday alarm of your birthday. I was so proud of you of how you mastered the computer at your age. You mastered everything in life with class and humility.
I constantly see something on TV,, news, a movie, and start to head down to your apartment to tell you about it…..but you are not there. I know you were ready…..you often told me you were not afraid to die, you yearned to be with mother, and to feel joy at your arrival with God. I bet your back is all better now….and you’ll be spending your first birthday in HIS kingdom with your loving wife. Gee, do they have dancing in heaven? I can just picture you and mother “gliding” across the ballroom floor as you use to do, without the infirmities that were here on earth.
I know you’ll somehow give me a sign…something that will comfort me, something that will get me through the up-coming months. I love you daddy….my “knight in shining Armour”!
Good night Daddy…I love you!

Happy Birthday, Daddy! Even though you can't be here to celebrate with us, I know you will celebrate with mom for the first time in 15 years! Just thought you'd like to know that Steffanie missed your birthday card. She could always count on a card from you. I miss you, Pop, but that's just me being selfish. I looked forward to my weekends and visits with you. I miss our talks and just being in your company. Please watch over us and let your spirit guide us in our daily lives. By the way, the Eagles won today and so did Tampa Bay!.....luv, nene

I REMEMBER
I remember the things we did as kids and the games we played.
I remember with time on our hands we played Kick-the-can, Docky on the Rock, Buck-Buck, How Many fingers up, and Rover-Rover come over.
I remember when it rained hard we would go down over the hill and jump over the creek.
I remember how we climbed the Wooden Bridge which was fifty feet high.
I remember playing King of the Hill
I remember you took lessons to play the Hawian Guitar and the Button Box Acordian.
I remember the two of us playing the Harmonica - The Kola
YES I REMEMBER

Dad,
I miss you a great deal. I miss our afternoon talks, your laughter,your stories, your guidence and supervision - your familar "Hi there, buddy". Your departure saddens me but I do not grieve you because I know you lead a long and wonderful life - full of accomplishments , a lovely marriage and a terrific family. You can be proud!! I know that you are no longer in pain, no longer frustrated because you can't read, that you can breathe properly and that you don't have to take anymore "darn pills". I also know that you have reached your ultimate goal - to be reunited with your beautiful wife and your Lord. I know this is what you "longed" for. So as strange as it may seem to others, I am happy for you - for this is all about you, not us. I will see you again some time and we will laugh and swap stories once more. Until that time , my friend, I love you,
Tom

Well Grandpa what can I say... You were always there for me... I can remember like it was yesterday...
I was sitting at the lunch table in grade school taking a test, I look behind me and there you are. You looked so handsome for my Grandparants day. For you all reading, this was a real treat for me because he lived so far away. Then of course the late nights Mom and I would call you in Florida to help me with a math problem, those were the nights.
You helped me so much and I wish I could just look at you one last time and say thank you, thank you for the memories, and the laughs. You saw me grow and achieve alot. You will always be in my heart grandpa...And im gonna miss you alot. The playing of the hormonica, and even giving me my very own tiny one as a child. Oh and who can forget dancing to "In the Mood" by Glenn Miller.
You were always the first one to send me a card on my birthday, and this last time you finally spelled it right. I know though that you'll be here watching over us. I love you and miss you. I will make sure to take care of Mom, she's raised a smart girl. She knows shes in good hands, as are you Grandpa.
Love You ALways,
Steff

How can I begin to thank all those who have sent a card, flowers, or just a call? You can see a reflection of my father every time you see me on TV....his clear deep voice, professional appearance, and success helped mold me, and my other siblings into what we are today. Along with all that, he taught me humility, to never take our God given gifts for granted. He was a pillar of faith and strength for me while going through my late husband's death, Don Hunt, and he has for the most part lived with me for the past 15 years. I will miss those birthday calls where he played happy birthday with his harmonica on the phone, those long talks on politics, and his love for his country, his Polka steps and the cola, his smooth glides on a waltz, his way with rolling those words in Croatian that I could never get right, and yes, the smell of his pipe and a bright happy "Hi Honey...I saw you on TV tonight...how was your day" when I finally got home. Lately he was extremely compassionate towards the disaster in the Gulf states. CNN or Fox was monitored and wished he could do something. Thus, your contributions in his name helped accomplished that. He was my “knight in shinning Armour”, and everyone else had to measure up! He crossed over just a few days ago, into the arms of my Lord Jesus Christ, where he will once again reunite with his sweetheart Mary Ann. Yes, his passing was unexpected, but he was ready……very ready…..and not afraid of death. I was the one that wasn’t ready, but now must trust in My Lord to help me through another part of His will, not mine , that was meant to be. Again, to my family, friends, Tom, my WFMZ family, thank you for your prayers and thoughts…..I will cherish them dearly during this time.
Love,
Kathy Craine Hunt

It's only been a week and I miss you. I know you are with mother at last and that you walk with the angels. You walk fast and tall, just like you did when I was a little girl. I missed your Friday phone call today and wish I could hear you speak one more time. God will join us all again. Until then, I will miss the best dad a daughter could have. Say hi to Mom, Randy, and Janna. I'll look for a sign..I know will come. Luv ya!..nene

Thanks to everyone who came to Dad's viewing and funeral. Your love and support during our family's time of need was greatly appreciated.
Dad lived a very busy and long life, full of accomplishment and adventure! He was not only a great father, but a superior friend, who I counted on many times during my short 51 years with him. I am better for every moment I spent with him, and I'm sure, for those of you who knew him, you are too.
I'm looking forward to the day when I too can be reunited with Dad, Mom and my Savior, Jesus.
Blessed Regards,
