Dear Uncle you were an awesome individual. I'll always remember you riding you bike over to my house in Ortley Beach. I always had your favorite, a piece of fresh fruit. It never mattered what kind. You grew the most amazing tomatoes in your little garden. I'll never forget all the special memories we had with you. Now you are united with all the special people, both family and friends, who have gone before you. Rest in the peace of the Lord

He lived a blessed life and will be abundantly rewarded in Heaven. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace forever and ever... Amen.
