My Gramps was truly one of a kind. He wasn't afraid to tell me how it is or how it was going to be. I was lucky enough to spend a lot of my childhood with him. I will never forget his cooking, love for Westerns and Soap Operas, and his laugh. I will miss the excitement in his voice when I called to check on him and the look on his face when he got to see his Great-granddaughter. Some people are unforgettable, he was truly one of them. Rest in peace Gramps, I know that there is no more pain where you are. Love, Your Chipmunk

Dan will live in my heart for eternity. He was one of very few people on this earth who truly did not judge anyone, and he always treated me like his own son. My fondest memory of him is when Dan (my brother in law) and I came over to his house while hunting and he chopped off my goatee with his pocketknife. He would have never done that had he not loved me unconditionally and vice versa. I will always remember him and hold his memories close in my heart forever. He touched my life in so many positive ways and gave me life lessons that have no price. May he rest in peace.
