Cathy, Terri, Sam, Thinking of all the San Vito Memories with your Mom, Dad, and you 3. Sam, you were born about the same time as our Ella in Silas Clinic, Brindisi Italy. Your Dad was infulential in my Air Force Career. In San Vito I saw what he did for a living compared to what I did. I cross trained into his field. As a neighbor, he was great. We used to car pool to base sometimes. He invited me to listen to my most unfavorite super bowl. Jan 1971, Balt beat Dallas 16 - 13. I think your Dad was happy, I cried in my beer. He was a great Man, Dad, and Friend. So many good qualities, NO bad ones. Love from Brian Dillon, and Dee Dee

Dad, I have been thinking about you so much lately. I miss you being there every night when I got home from work and asking how my day was. You were a wonderful father to us girls and you and mom were the best parents a child could ever have. I hope that you and mom are at peace together and I look forward to the time we all meet again. I love you and miss you so much.
Love, Sam

Butch words can't express what you meant to me, but I will always remember our life together - the good and bad. Love you and miss you.

My brother, you will be so very missed. Growing up (Butch) always did funny little things to make us smile. He was rather quiet, but he was always so interesting and smart. He traveled a lot in the service and one things I selfishly looked forward to was his special gifts he sent, usually one that represented what country he was in. Thinking of you ....... until we meet again.

I hope that at the end you knew how much you were loved, how important you were, and how much you were and are a part of me.

You were the best brother...a hug and one last goodbye would've been great, Butch but it wasn't meant to be. So happy I was able to visit you the previous week. RIP sweet brother.
