Dad,
I'm still in disbelief that you are gone, my heart broke that day. I was so scared, not only for myself, but especially for you. You were taken without warning from us. I hope you knew that I was there by your side, talking to you, I think you heard me cause I saw you turn your head my way a couple of times when I was telling you that I love you and that you were not alone. Watch over me and my family as we go on with life without you. Thanks for being my crazy, goofy, funny sometimes hotheaded, loving and giving to others kinda DAD! You are and were a Great Father and Poppy to me, Wade, Gary & Seth!....I'm proud you are my Dad but even prouder to say I'm your Daughter! You'll be missed alot by many! Love always, Teri

Daddy,
I’m still not ready, and not sure I’ll ever be, to say goodbye to you. My heart is broken. There are no words to describe how grateful, and lucky I am that you were my dad. This world just feels a little less bright without you, but where ever you are now, I just hope you’re watching over, and protecting us. I don’t know if anything I’m saying here makes any sense, but all I know is that I miss you, and I love you. You’ll always my strength, and rock.
Love,
Carmen

David, Kristine, family and friends,
We are sorry to hear of John’s passing. He always greeted us with a smile, and some joking too, when we arrived at the campground. He will be missed.

He was one of a kind,no doubt. Kind hearted to a fault. We've been camping at Conewago Isle for years now, and he never failed to give us a rough time. Always made us laugh. I will miss him always. I can hear him singing The wayward wind. Rest in peace,my friend,till we meet again.

You will be missed by so many, but we know you are at peace being reunited with those you have missed for so long. God bless and comfort our nieces and nephews. Love, Karen and Cappy
