2 years without you physically. Your presence is felt in my heart. I realize I may have only once maybe twice experienced a hug from you. i miss you, telling me what an idiot I am. The coat wasn't my coat. Even though I don't feel we were close, as I told you the last time, the sun rose and set on your opinions. You and Ann were wonderful at making sure we were together on holidays, staying together as a family and trying to be there for each other. You are deeply missed. So many people loved you. As a younger sister, being away for so many years took a huge toll. I think of you so often. I love you, Butchy.

Anne and Eric it's difficult for us to believe it's been a year. I imagine it has not been easy for both of you. Mark and I have so many memories of the fourth of us growing up and growing "old". I of course if as far back as high school. As couples we enjoyed "double dating" for dinner and parties with friends. Remember the 2nd night of your married life sleeping at our apartment after you realized the bathroom window was broken in yours. Then there was the trip to Amana Colonies in
Iowa. The rain was so bad that we decided to spend the night at the Holiday Inn. Shortly later we both found out we were pregnant. You and I spent Tuesday nights at the laundromat while Lou and Mark bowled. Mark and I had dinner while you were in the hospital after having Eric. I was to follow 3 weeks later giving birth to Ardith. That started another chapter of our lives. Raising kids when Laura,Lou's sister babysat for Ardith. Our lives moved on and we moved to Henderson, NV. Lou was determined to make it to Ardith's son Nate's wedding. That he did. You and he drove to Cedar Rapids, IA in late March of 2023 during a little snow. It was great to see him there but I could tell the trip was rough. It was the last time Mark and I were to see Lou. In my heart I felt it when he left. We spoke occasionally and I hope he realized that we loved him. We will keep Annie in our lives. She has become part of our extended family. Love Mark and Sarah Geskin

Almost a year has passed. Family gatherings a bit difficult, much quieter, not as much silliness, no trivia....you are so missed. Eddie looking for you, but he may be with you now. LOVE, LOVE AND MORE LOVE by so many.

I have many memories of Lou. One that sticks out the most was his humor. He would always tell his customers when they were leaving the design appointment, you know what they say in Italy? Then he´d pause to hear them say, no what.? Then he´d just say in a nice way of course, get out! Still makes me laugh when I think about. Lou was my mentor in kitchen design, he taught me everything I know about kitchens and always cared about how my wife and I were doing. He will be missed but will always have a place in our hearts.

Uncle Butch,

No words are enough to express how important you were to all of us. Noah, Mindy, Ricky and I were so blessed to have you as our uncle and you had a profound impact on our lives. I'm so grateful for all of the memories we made together over the years. You and Aunt Ann had a wonderful love that many people could only dream of and my cousin Eric is the best of both of you. My cousins and I grew up close and we couldn't have done it without each of our loving parents. I have so many fond memories of my mom, my dad and I coming to visit over the years. Chicago was always another home to me, long before I moved back. One of the reasons was because of how close we all were to each other and we couldn't have done it without you. We all had each other's backs through the good times and the bad times. You had a great sense of humor and that's just one of many things I'm going to miss about you. You were a great man and you left your mark on the world in many ways. We're always going to miss you dearly but I know we'll all be together again one day. Say hi to Noah and my dad for me up there in Heaven. I love you!

Love,
Michael

My oldest brother, a brother, but so much more. He is missed adored and so loved. We mourn his passing and leaving us to go on.....but how?
