Dearest Laurie, family, and Voreyer brothers and sisters,
I was so sorry to hear the sad news about your father. From one big family to another, we understand how it feels to lose the pillar of the family, the Dad you could always turn to and depend on for that hug, that kiss, that special smile and warm look in his eyes. I remember that happy smile and those laughing eyes. Truly missed but forever in your hearts. We know you all find comfort knowing he is with your mom now. We are praying for you all at this time of sadness. Hugs from all the Downings and their families.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was such a sweetheart. I guess now he and Connie can be together again. That thought maybe can relieve some pain.

What can be said about a man who with his wonderful wife raised such amazing children. The good they did touches so many every day and will live on and on through their children and grandchildren. How proud John & Connie are. I wish all of you light, love and wonderful memories.

Your dad was so adorable! I loved running into him shopping and the conversations we had. He was a San Bruno icon and I'm going to miss his smiling face around town. What an inspiration to all of us!! God blessed you with a special dad. And we all got to enjoy him.
