For my Daddy-

All of us have fathers, some have Dads, I have a Daddy. He was always there, always patient(and I did try hsi patience), always kind and giving. He never held a grudge, talked bad about anyone and loved his family and friends unconditionally. He is,was, and always will be my hero. I can't ever repay the love and respect he gave to me, but I can give away all that he ever taught me about life, love and family by trying to be like him. The difference between a father, Dad and Daddy is clear-for that I am grateful and fortunate. I miss you and will always love you with all my heart. In your honor, I dedicate my life to living by your standards-just like you taught me. I know that you will be watching over us(your family) just as you always have. By life's chance, I could have had someone else as a father or Dad, but God smiled on me and our family and gave us you- my Daddy.

Richard... I didn't know you very well but I know your family very well. I just got home from your viewing and I am very very sorry to see that you are not with us. You took the pictures for my aunts wedding, I help babysit your grandchildren, and I have known megan since i was born. You are such a wonderful person and I sit here in tears thinking about all the good things I hear about you.

I wish you and your family the best.

Megan__ I love you so much. You have done so much for me and I thank you. I am sorry that this had to happen to you. I know it is hard. When I lost Pop Pop it was the hardest thing in my life. I know how it feels and if you ever need to talk to me you no I am here for you.

Good Luck and I am thinking of you!

Uncle Butch will be greatly missed but he will always be in my memories. He was very influential in my life and helped me to decide on my military and law enforcement career. He was a great role model. A quiet professional who knew how to have a good time and make people feel comfortable around him. My condolences to Aunt Niki, Bruce, and Jen.

I worked with Rich in ADT's Allentown office. He was unfailingly cheerful and helpful, and on top of his job, a true professional.
