Hey uncle Giz,
Still miss those hunting and fishing trips. Ace swimming across the river, risk games, and the best fish fry´s ever! Beer batter perch and walleye. Keeping an eye out. Love your nephew Randy

Thanks Giz for all the good times you shared with us.
Your friends cannot and will not forget you.
The world is a better place because you were here.
I just know you will be called upon by The Big Guy upstairs for a few of your hunting and fishing tips, so I hope you brought some of your favorite lures with you.
Your friend, Dennis

I am so sorry for your family's loss. May God bring you comfort in knowing that now there is no more suffering for him. He is finally at peace watching over you..I will keep you all in my prayers.

Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and he was loved so much.
