We had many good memories over the past 30 years. I enjoyed the target shooting, slot car racing, working construction with you, and spending time with you. I appreciate how you liked my work ethic and how much you cared about me over the years. It was tough to see you go through the suffering and the ups and downs of having cancer. I know you are in a better place now and I wish you peace and love. You have forever changed me for the better.

Dearest PopPop,

You joined in marriage to my mother many years ago and on September 14th that's when I got a new father. From yard sales to open houses,we did so much. You made the best breakfasts,fries,and pulled pork. I will miss your advice,playing cornhole in the OOL and naming all the statues in the backyard. Liam will always miss your jokes and having s'mores with you by the firepit. I miss you so much!

Love,
Kristen

Andy-Pop,

We miss you so much. Thank you for being a knight in shining armor to Debbie. You two were always the best host and hostess - no one left hungry! It was so sad not to have you at the 4th of July table. Your grandbaby Liam will remember all of the Pinewood Derby cars, the monster truck ramps you built on the spot, and the fun you two had. William and I appreciate the career support, and I will never forget what you said to me near the end. William remembers all of the work days you two had together fondly. You and Nana were always partners in crime :). Thanks for loving all of us in your own special way. We will miss you and love you forever.

Dad,
You are an amazing father. I am blessed to have you in my life. You gave so much and never complained. Your love continues to grow and strengthen the bond of our family. You have brought us closer together. I am so thankful that we were all together in Amelia. I´m so thankful Chris and I spent time with you again and we were together.
You are with the Angels in a beautiful field of peace. Mary is watching over. I will love you forever. Thank you for being a wonderful dad.
I love you, Andrea

PopPop, thank you for sharing some of your unlimited knowledge of motors with me, I will never change my spoiler again! I will never forget how wonderful it was to have the entire family together in one room, what a special family reunion! I will always cherish the time we had together, and I am lucky to say I only have good memories with you. I love you PopPop.

The stars were aligned when we planned a week on Amelia Island so many months ago, to see you and the paradise you lived on. It was a blessing you met Andrew's fiance, Anni's boyfriend. To see Erik for the first time after many years. Andrea making the trip to bring the last of the Moeckels together for a family reunion. And no regrets coming back last week with Andrea to sit by your bedside and bore you with stories of a fabulous childhood your hard work allowed.
I love you dad. Your in heaven surrounded by Angels.
