Missing my pillar of strength today for some reason. Been heavy on my heart not seeing you Dad!

Happy Birthday Laura yesterday!! It was a good day at moms on Sunday. I enjoyed celebrating your birthday. Played Golf Monday and Larry Hagey was there. He told me a story about dad. It was from the Sacred Heart Days and he was asked to sit in on the 7th Grade Sex Education for the boys with Father Flinn and four other Dads. Well Father Flinn was struggling in his teachings on the matter and turned to Dad for his opinion. Well Dad being caught off gaurd and not prepared to speak, took on a serious look and just said "Well Boys Sex is Great". Sat there last night after he told me the story and wondered why God shared that story with me and now I know. I was to pass on Dads humor to you so he could give you a smile on your Birthday Sorry I did not pass it on yeterday. Love You, Keith

Dad, Thank you for breathing life into me 51 years ago tomorrow. It's funny, I don't have to close my eyes to see your face. Your image is so visible to me. Your voice, your laughter rings in my ears. I felt you with us today as we celebrated my upcoming birthday tomorrow and I wanted to thank you! I loved the life I had as a child. You and mom gave me a wonderful childhood and adulthood. I miss hugging you!!! Love to you always and forever.

Dad, it is so hard to believe that 4 years have passed since we last got to see your smile. We miss you so very much and you are never far from our thoughts and hearts. You are very much a part of our everyday lives and I wanted you to know that as we mourn your passing this Good Friday we will celebrate that you are by God's side.

I talked with Mom the other day and I know she misses Dad dearly.

Have you heard this?
-------------------
I have heard a thousand times that you are in a better place and that a thousand times I have rejoiced.

The reason I am broken and the reason why I cry. Is how long must I wait to be with you? I close my eyes and I see your face and so if home is where the heart is then I am out of place.

WOW!
Now comes the prayer.
Help me Oh Lord cause I don't understand your ways. The why! Of why my husband had to go through this pain. I wonder if I will ever know. But, even if you showed me, Lord why; The hurt would be the same. Cause I am still here and so far away from home. Won't you give me the strength, to make it through somehow. I have never been as homesick as I am now. In Christ, there are no goodbyes, and there is no end. So I will hold onto Jesus with all that I have until the day comes when I can see you again.

----
It has been layed on my heart to write this bit. So that others can share it with me and remember Mom in your heart today. If you haven't talked with her lately give her a call or drop by
to see her.

Love,
Kevin

Merry Christmas dad, Thank You for all the gifts you gave me thru your life. You are missed by all. Be with mom as she deals with her brother passing, She misses you. We had a memorial at her house last night and as the candles burnt, some were burning not as bright as others. I thought to myself this is probably how some of my brothers and sisters really feel. I took the candles and attended to them to make sure each candle burnt brightly just as you would have done for us. You and mom always made sure our life was bright and we could always count on that support. Each one us mattered and were number one (all in our own ways) and you always made sure our candles were burning brightly, I hope we never quit this new tradition, Love and Miss You, Keith

Hi Dad, It's been a very busy past few months ... but not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you! Devin is growing so fast and he's such a doll! He looks like any of us Antoff kids -- so, as Connie says, you do live on but that doesn't stop me from missing you. I knew it was your birthday last Sunday and it's still hard not being able to call you and wish you a Happy Birthday. I can still hear Mom telling you "I'm still younger than you" and laughing and your reply "Not for long, Mary. Only two more weeks." We sure do miss you, but could definitely use your guidance and divine intervention through these tough times. This is a belated wish for a Happy Birthday; but you know I wished you a Happy B'day on your special day. I Love & Miss you so much, Dad.

Dad,

Happy belated birthday. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and wish you were still with us. When Billy smiles, I see the same twinkle in his eyes you had. More evidence that you live on. Rob and Caitlin are having a little one next year, which definitely gives the family something to look forward to! Happy Birthday, Dad, and Merry Christmas! Keep us safe in the New Year!

Love always!

Laura Antoff

December 15, 2008

Happy Birthday, Dad. I can't believe that time is flying by so fast. Mom and I went to church yesterday to celebrate your birthday. I could feel you with us and I would have given anything to really see your smiling face and hug you. I miss being able to do that. So much is going on in the family now and it seems everyone could use your guidance I hope they feel your presence and are guided through their challenges. Christmas is coming right around the corner and we will all be together at Tom's house this year. I love you, dad.

Dad,
What a year 2007 has been. It seems like the world is on the verge of collapse.
I guess you already have heard that the Granite City Steel Mill are idling its operations.
My company is going through another merger. Family and friends are being laid off with no definite return to work dates. Put a special hand on them, guide there moves through this trying time. Put a blanket of protection over them and make it easy on them to live day to day. I remember as a child how you and Mom would talk about having just enough to get by. That whenever you needed to have something that somehow the funds would be there for you. You and Mom gave the glory to God and I know that God had everything to do with making it happen. So while I ask you to help I know that you are closer to him so maybe you can pull some special favors for the family. I guess your family work still hasn't stopped were just asking for things on a grander scale. Too funny!

Bobbi, the boys, and I moved to North Carolina in the pursuit of the American dream. The decision to move was difficult and even harder was pulling out of town. I left the safety net and at first I wasn't sure of the reason. Family and friends are so precious. I am starting to see a little insight as to why though. Our family has grown closer because we are spending more time with each other. It has been good and special for that reason and if for no other reason. Your birthday is fast approaching so I wanted to wish you a happy birthday and Christmas is just around the corner. While we are town we will be celebrating them both so I will have a piece of cake for you. Take care and I Love You!

Love,
Kevin

Hey Dad, was just looking through the photos on-line and reading the messages. Your family misses the Love we received from you freely. I miss touching you, I miss the constant joking, I miss your advice, and I miss your strentgh. As you know the pain lingers and leaves us empty but we have warm memories of you raising us. This fills the tremendous void we have now and does not leave us with Nesho. See a great memory. I love you, Happy FD.

Happy Dad's Day, Dad! Here it is 2 years later, and I still miss you so very much! Father's Day isn't the same without you. I wish you could hold your newest great grandson - Devin Carl. He's really a joy and such a happy baby. I see you in him when he smiles. I don't get on line as much or as often lately -- Rob, Devin, and the girls keep me pretty busy. I know you're proud of Nicole graduating from high school this year -- I'm so proud of her, too! I know you were watching her walk across that stage to get her diploma. She's a good mom -- now we just have to get her a job. Any divine intervention will be greatly appreciated. :) Michelle will be a sophomore -- and can get her driver's permit in July. Hard to believe, huh? I'm proud of her, too. She and Nicole are both growing up to be fine young ladies. Jason and Alicia got married this year, bought a house, and he changed jobs and is working for Middough right now. He's a fine young man and I'm proud of him, too. We all miss you. Dad, thank you for all you did for us while you were with us here on earth - you and mom did a great job raising us! I love and miss you sooooooo much!!!! Chris

Happy Father's Day, Dad. No celebration can take the place of being able to honor the great Dad you were to us. I love you and miss you and will be thinking of you on Sunday.

March 31, 2008

Wow Dad. I can't believe April 2nd is upon us again. There are so many things I would have done differently had I known that the Saturday I saw you last was my last opportunity to talk to you. I love you and miss you so much. I hope you're with Nicole tomorrow as she brings your new great grandbaby into the world. Keep smiling down upon us!!

Connie Schwendemann

December 14, 2007

Happy Birthday, Dad! I wanted to let you know how much I miss you and to let you know that your new great grandson Billy has your eyes and smile! Knowing you're watching over us helps fill the void you left behind. Till we meet again, love you much and Happy Birthday!

Chris Nevels

December 14, 2007

Well, Dad, happy birthday. It's been tough today -- I really wish I could call you and say "Happy Birthday, Dad"!! We would have loved to throw you a party to celebrate your 80th. I love you, Dad!

Laura Antoff

December 13, 2007

Dad, tomorrow is your birthday - December 14th. How I wish you were here for us to celebrate your 80th birthday. I miss you so much. I love you! Happy Birthday!

Love always,

Hello Dad! Another set of holidays is fast approaching and I'm reminded of how much I miss you. It's unbelievable how time just flies by. I think of you so much and feel your presence all around me. I know you're watching out for us - we sure keep giving you lots to watch out for (hahaha). Some things never change. The willow Mike planted really took off. Mom had to cut it back already. I love you!

Grandpa,

As you know you have a new great-grandchild born July 20th. Even though you were with us (and I'm sure you didn't enjoy seeing Melanie in the pain she was in), I really wish you could have been there in person. Now we have a new bundle of joy on the way that you need to look over and bring to us healthy. I really miss and love you!!

Hey dad just got back from the lake and wanted to let the family know we had time together. It was peacefull sitting in the boat with the stars and having the memories of you and I fishing. I realized as I fished with Amy and Ryan I was building memories for them. Thank You dad for the time you spent with me Love you Keith

Chris Nevels

June 15, 2007

Dad, It wasn't any easier this year picking up Father's Day cards for Michelle to give her Dad or even picking out a Father's Day card for Rob. It's just another reminder that I no longer have you in this world where I can physically hug you and talk to you and have you answer. The void is not getting smaller, Dad - but I do feel you nearby and you're always in my heart. I just wish I could see you. I thank you and Mom for being such good role models. I hope you catch another 'big un' this weekend ... be sure to use those 'minners'. I love and miss you sooooooooo much, Dad!!! Hugs & Kisses! Chris

June 14, 2007

Thank You dad for teaching me how to be a father to my family. I am proud to be your son and always will be. I miss you but feel you often. Loving memories and thanks to you on this fathers day. Enjoy your fishing day with Uncle Sonny, and my father in-law Sonny. Tell them both we Love them. Keith

Laura Antoff

June 13, 2007

Dad, It's almost Father's Day and I can't even begin to explain the emptiness I feel inside not being able to celebrate your day. I miss you so much and think of you often. I love you and know that you are with us, guiding us.

Happy Father's Day from your daughter with Love Always and Forever ...

April 2, 2007

Dad,
As we reach the first anniversary of your birth into heaven, I wanted to tell you again how much I love you. You were such an inspiration to all of us and still live in our memories. I think of you often and I can't believe how much it still hurts! When Kevin wrote how much he missed not saying goodbye, he spoke for most, if not all, of us. I guess we thought you'd live forever. I find tremendous comfort in knowing that you are no longer hurting and that you are with us in spirit. I see your smile, and I feel your love. Sometimes I'd swear that I hear your voice speaking to me. Dad, I'll always love you and there will always be a void in my heart that no one can fill. Until we meet again...love you much!

Connie

Hey, Keith - Did I get the big one?

Dad, Time has moved on, but the pain of losing you is still hard to bear. I can't believe it's been almost a year, and - as Laura said -it's like a big dark cloud hanging over us all. The void in my heart hasn't diminished in this past year. I miss you so very much. I'd give anything to hold your hand again, stroke your face, kiss you, and tell you "I Love YOU". But you know how much I/we all love you. I'm glad you're getting to fish and you finally caught the 'big un'. Keith, save that picture so I can see it. No one misses you as much as Mom does. She definitely needs your hugs - even in the form of the wind caressing her. I love you, Dad. You are still my hero. Until we meet again, Dad -- I LOVE YOU!

Love always,

Hey Dad miss you!!! Laura just emailed me and made me aware this was still out there. I figured I would take some time and write to you. Ryan did well in wrestling and is doing better in school, he will get his permit this summer, can you believe it. I have been keeping really busy, it eases missing you. God gave me a gift. I recieved a bass pro magazine and there was a picture of a person holding about a 10lb. Peacock Bass. The person looked exactly like you. I was dumbfounded and waited for the next issue to come out. When I received it and you were not in there I realized I had something special. You always wanted to catch that big bass and you had. I tore the picture out and took it to mom and showed her. She also thought it looked like you. I guess as Kathy wrote, you picked up your pole and put it to use. Love You Hope to see ya again, a dream is nice, a memory is good, the picture was good until next time I'll be just missing you. Love You Keith

Well Grandpa...I know I'm a little late on this, but as we approach the 1 year mark I thought I'd tell you how much I miss and love you. They say time heals all wounds, but this wound is going to take a long time to heal.

As you know, you're about to have another great-grandchild. Which I can speak for everyone in the family in saying, we're all quite excited about. It's been a rough year for everyone! I know you get to hold my little niece or nephew before any of us, and I know you'll keep him and her safe until they get to meet all of us.

I know that when you left us, you went to a better place where you're no longer in any pain. I am glad you're no longer suffering, but I do miss you tremendously. When you passed away we all didn't lose a husband, father, or grandfather, we all lost a friend. Who was there for all of us no matter what, and also taught most of us to fish.

I love you grandpa, and I can't wait to see you again!

My Dad …by Laura Antoff

So many memories of moments with you fill my mind from day to day.
These memories keep you so very close to my heart.
They are the core of so many happy times spent together as a family.
And now it’s so hard to continue to do these things as you are missed so much.

I still can see us sitting on the front porch in our lawn chairs or on the bench,
Watching the dark clouds in anticipation of a storm that was about to roll in.
If the tornado sirens sounded we would stand there just waiting for something to happen.
But let the wind start blowing rain in our faces we would run inside for cover.

The lakes are another place I can see us along the shoreline, or even in the water.
Places where I caught fish, lost fish and even the time I talked to the minnows.
It was always so much fun to be in the water swimming and splashing around;
Renting the pontoon boats or just sitting by your side with a line in the water.

I can see us at Busch Stadium even though the stadium we went to is no longer there.
We were sitting in the last row of the stadium; the Cards were on fire that year.
I’ll never forget the fun we had leaving the park after winning the pennant.
We didn’t want it to end so we went to Sports Tap to have a celebration beer with Tom.

I can see you working with your tomatoes and peppers in the garden.
I don’t know who ate more of them; the squirrels, rabbits or us.
And the magnolia tree with its beautiful blooms meant that spring was coming again.
As kids, our backyard was always a flurry of “fun” activity as we were growing up.

I can see us sitting at family barbeques pitching horseshoes, washers, even Jarts.
You swam with us, played ball with us, and took us for Sunday drives along the canal.
All of us enjoyed watching you with mom dancing to the music of the big bands.
Your kids felt loved and witnessed a strong marriage foundation between you two.

Every turn of our lives, you have always been looking out for us; helping us;
Teaching us valuable lessons that we can pass on to the next generation of Antoffs’.
Your love, laughter and quick sense of humor lives on in each one of us as inspiration.
And especially now, I don’t want to dwell on how you died, but how you live within us.

Always and forever is an infinite span of time and I will love you, always and forever.
In this life and the afterlife, by God’s will, I look forward to seeing you again.

Kevin

March 13, 2007

Dad,
The other day I was watching the movie "Flag of our Fathers" and at the end of the movie a young man was with his father, by his bedside in the hospital. The son was sitting by his side and was able to tell him what a great father he was right before he passed on to the after-life. The scene was really hard to watch but it made me ponder how it must have been for you. I wasn't there when you past on and I, because of that, hurt. While I can pass it off by thinking you would have wanted it that way there is an emptiness inside that longs to have that last word with you. I will never be able to share it with you.

God I hope there is a heaven! I hope that one day I that I can meet you in the heavens. That I can be with you and be able to speak the unspoken. The anniversary of your death is coming soon and we all miss you dearly. I think I can speak for the whole family when I say that we want you back. To have and to hold and to be able to share our times with. There is an emptiness inside and it longs for what is lost.

Your loving son always,

Laura Antoff

February 2, 2007

Dad - Today marks 10 months and as I sit at my desk looking at your smiling face I'm overwhelmed with how much I miss you! I miss your humor and your laughter. The house is not the same. I know you're watching over us. I love you!

December 14, 2006

Well, dad today is your birthday and I'd like nothing better than to hug you and see your smiling face. I know you're with us and wouldn't want us to be sad for you. I miss you and love you! I hope you are having a wonderful celebration of your birth day with the angels in heaven. Love always, Laura

Laura Antoff

September 3, 2006

Dad,

Wow -- it's been 5 months since I last got to see your face. I miss you so very much as do all of us. Today was such a beautiful day -- one that you would have enjoyed. Perfect for fishing! I hope you were able to enjoy it where you are now! I told mom you probably have that pontoon boat you always wanted and are now waiting for the day to show it to all of us! You worked so hard for your family -- to give us what we needed. But the love you showed each of us daily was the most powerful gift of all. I am so thankful for the time I had with you. It wasn't long enough though. You deserved to enjoy so much more of your life than you did. Especially the last couple of years. I hope we were able to make a difference. I love you and miss you!

Kevin Antoff

July 27, 2006

Dad,

It's been a while since I've written but I don't think a day passes where I don't think about the last days/months/years of your life. The family knows you are still around providing guidance and security to each of us, just like you did when you were alive. I wanted to thank you for bringing me up in a Christian home and for being a family man. So many kids these days don't have that solid foundation. Thank you! The Bible says that God promises never to leave or forsake us. If we believe in his son! The Bible also says to stand strong and be courageous and to follow the ways of the Lord. I can only imagine what it was like for you when you saw the savior for the first time. I wonder if you stood in awe or fell to your knees in admiration. Were you able to speak or did you sit quietly. Dad! Friends are Friends forever as long as the lord is friends of there’s. A lifetime is not too long to live as friends. I'm going to go now; I hope this gibberish makes sense.



LOL!

The Eulogy by Kathy Antoff



"I am a simple man," he said unto the Lord, "I am not worthy nor do I

deserve a rich reward." "I tried to be honest, dependable and true, My example, after all, dear Jesus, was always You."



"I received blessings beyond measure, Mary, whom I adore. Nine children were my treasure," he said unto the Lord.



"My wife, she stood beside me and

daily tended my needs. Her loving, strong and gentle hands performed such thankless deeds. I leave her now to You, dear Lord, her heart and soul to mend, and bring her safely to my arms when we meet again."



"My children are my legacy, I did the best I could, to bring them up with faith in You, to trust You as they should."



"Connie, Chris and Laura, my girls they were my prize. I hated so to leave them, but they must realize. That You had called me home, dear Lord, to a better place, they know. I do not hurt, I have no pain for You have made me whole."



"My sons they are the best of men, I was proud to be their father. Richard, Mike, Kenny, Kevin, Keith and Tom, I leave you to care for your mother."



"For she will need you now, my boys, you all must take my place. Please comfort her and keep her safe. And live in God's sweet grace."



"My life, it was not much dear Lord". "Oh, but you are wrong, My son. Now grab the pole I saved for you, your new life has just begun."



Happy Father's Day dad. We're all thinking of you today. Most are fishing in your honor. We love you.

Happy Father's Day, Dad. It's hard to believe you've been gone for 11 weeks now. And, it's even harder knowing I'll never be able to wish you a Happy Dad's day and talk to you in person. I miss you so much. I still take comfort in knowing you're no longer suffering. I wish I could hold your hand and hug and kiss you again. I know you're at peace. So, until I see you again, you're always in my thoughts and prayers -- and always near and dear to my heart. I love you so much!!!

Laura Antoff

June 9, 2006

Dad, Memorial Day I wrote to you and for some reason it didn't get posted. I think of you everyday and wonder...Did we do the right things? Should we have pushed getting rid of the decay? None of us wanted you to go out of our lives but we wanted you to not suffer. You will ever be in our hearts - "beyond here on to eternity, for always and ever you'll be a part of us". Now yours and mom's anniversary is near. Please surround mom with your loving arms she is going to need your strength to get through Sunday. I love you and know you are near!

Laura Antoff

May 9, 2006

Dad, it's hard to believe that more than a month has gone by since I last spoke to you. You know, your magnolia tree didn't bloom this year. I guess it was as sad as we are. I miss you so much and pray that you are watching over us! I love you.

Grandpa,

As hard as this is for me to say goodbye, you will always be in my heart. Everytime i put on my Navy uniform i will always remember you and think about the wonderful times we had out on the lake. You were an inspiration to me in so many ways. My life is forever touched for you being a part of it. My mind is full of happy thoughts of us, from our fishing trip to Nashville lake, to watching mash with you and Grandma. I will never forget the selfless devotion you showed to me as well as everyone else and I feel blessed for having the time I had with such a great man. I know i might not have ever told you this but Grandpa you are the GREATEST and I will never forget you. Until we meet again.



Love,

Your Grandson Jason Walkenbach



P.S. Catch a big one.

Dad, I am going to miss you so very much. Words will never be able to express how much I loved you and admired you. You gave unselfishly to all of us kids as we were growing up -- and gave us the gift of you and your unconditional love. You taught me so much. I take comfort in knowing you are in a better place and no longer suffering. I wish you didn't have to go through what you did these last few years and could've spent more time fishing. I only wish I could have told you -- just one more time -- I LOVE YOU. You were such a great role model for all of us -- giving to us unselfishly as we were growing up and even into adulthood. I learned from your example, and I can only hope I can be the same role model for my own family. I thank you (and Mom) for the wonderful family we have -- without them, I wouldn't have been able to make it through this. I know time will heal this hurt, but my love for you will never change. Like Connie, my world forever changed on April 2d. You were my hero, Dad - now you're my guardian angel. (I hope we don't keep you too busy protecting us so you'll have lots of time to fish.....) Dad, until we meet again, I LOVE YOU!!!!

April 13, 2006

Dad,

I will treasure my memories of you forever. I know that you are in a better place, no longer in pain, and healthy again. You lived your life as an example for us to follow. Your faith in God and love for Mom and your family was always evident. I pray that I can be as good an example to my family as you were. I'll never forget your love or your smile. Only time will heal my broken heart, but I know someday I'll see you again. Until then...I love you much!!!

Well said Uncle Kevin!! I know that I will miss him and everytime I go fishing I try and remember all he taught me. I love you grandpa!!

Dad -- How hard it will be to not have you visually to talk to. You will be close in my heart always. I pray that you know how wonderful a life you gave me and how much you are going to be missed. My life changed forever on April 2nd.

Dad,

I know where you are, and though I am saddened because of your death I know you are in a better place. Your suffering is over and you have been made whole. Forever will you live in my heart. I will never forget your kindness, and the love that you had for others. I will try my best to be the kind of father that you were to me. A role model that my kids can admire. I guess I need to say goodbye until we meet again in heaven. I will miss you and I can't wait to see you again.
