To my Dad- Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which I’ll never part. God has you in his keeping, I..have you in my heart. ME

Grandpa, I miss you.You were the only grandpa I had for 39 years of my life.You made me feel like the only important person in the room when I came to visit. Your smile and kind words always made me feel welcome.Even though i lived out of state due to the military you always recognized my voice when I called.The only thing I would change is our time together, I wish there was more.I wish I could have been there more when you really needed me.Thank you for waiting for me to come see you one more time, I will always remember you asked for me and my boys, and know we were always in your thoughts.I miss you Grandpa, but I know my Grandma is taking care of you in Heaven.
Love You Grandpa, Shannon and Boys.

Grandpa Carl was a great gradfather to me. I am going to miss him very much and only wish I could have spent more time with him and made more memories. He was so very special to our family and most of all the love of my grandmothers life. We will never be the same without him but I know he will be watching over us, guiding and protecting our family day by day. Love you Carl, and I will see you soon.

Carl was a great step father to us. I spent alot of time with him in his last few months and will always cherish that time. Seeing him smile and joking with him and making him laugh are memories that will always be with me. We miss you Carl and will always love you.

Carl was my father, and the best father anyone could ever have. He worked 2 jobs most of the time, and sometimes 2 1/2 to keep his 5 children fed and clothed. Plus grew a large garden every year.
My most precious memories of millions, is how he gave up buying something he wanted,, so I could have a prom dress.
Or giving me the most beautiful Communion dress a lil girl could ever want. He made me feel so much like a princess that day.
He always had time for all 5 of us. And made each one of us feel so special and loved.
He will be SO missed!
I also want to thank Rick for the very nice obit. I love it!
