Dear David, Ryan, Jeffrey, Christopher, Jessica and Alicia;
We were all so proud of you, the way you all got together and worked so hard in getting things done. It's what your grandfather would have wanted you to do.
Jess and Alicia, thank you for the updates during those difficult times.
Your grandfather was a common man who lived an uncommom life. I am greatful to have known him.
You guys are the foundation to his monument. Learn the lessons from the mistakes you will make in your lives, and you shell have his wisdom. Listen to the stories that will be told and tell the stories that you know, and that will be his legacy.
Love Daddy, Uncle Kevin.

Dear Bob, Pat and Carla;
I was honored to be able to attend Dads services and most of all, to take care of Moms transportation needs. She is a lovely and loving woman.
Your Dads heart was full of "SUGAR" and he was truly a "DIAMOND" in the rough.
