My Poppa,
How I miss you each and every day. You were an exceptional father and man. I thank God for blessing me with you and Mom. Every thought of you brings me comfort, joy, a smile, and of course tears because I miss you so much. Thank you Poppa thank you, for showing us how to be good, loving, caring people. You were always there for your family. From the very beginning to the end, in good times and in the tough times. Always a gentleman, always my hero, always proud and honored to call you my father. Thank you poppa for the wonderful person you were and for giving me a lifetime of pure love. May you rest in peace and may the arms of our loving God hold you close.
Forever in my heart,

Here is a Photo of you and Granny that I will always cherish. You two look so happy and healthy in the picture...

Hey Pops, I'm writing in your guest book today because I have been thinking about you all day. Today marks 4 years since you have been gone. I miss you so much but I know that your having so much fun up in heaven with Granny and all of your family. Well I know that your looking down upon us and see how were doing. Aunt Rosie is sick again Pops and please watch over her. What she's going through I know is not easy. Wow can you believe how big my little Anthony is getting he's going to be 3 in may. How time flies. I know you come down and visit him because he knows who you are in a picture and he never met you. Well I miss you pops and you know you were my favorite Grandpa keep on dancing with Granny and tell her I miss her as well and that I love her...

Hey Pops,
Today is September 24, 2006 Grandma past away yesterday. She lived two long years without you. It was very hard for her everyday knowing you werent there. Heck it was hard for all of us. I hope that you both are up in Heaven living the good life. I know you missed her these past two years. I'm gonna miss Grandma very much, I still think about you, and all of our memories. I know it's been awile since I last wrote you. I gave birth to a baby boy, I named him Anthony. He's 16 months now and a lot of things he does reminds me of you. His facial expressions are hillarious a lot like your facial expressions. I'm also engaged to be married to a great guy named Joseph. I wish you were around to have met him. Grandma surely loved him. Well I'm gonna go now I love you and will always keep you and Grandma close to my heart.

Dear Pop's



Today is the day that marks one year since I last held your hand. I miss you very much. I hope your having a great time in heaven. I can't wait till the day that I get to give you a great big hug. Things are ok down here, grandma's ok please watch over her she misses you dearly. Did you know Pop's your going be a great grandpa again. I'm due in 4 in 1/2 months. Well until next time Pops, I hope your doing well. I love you... Love STAAFNEY

Hey Pops,

I can't believe that it has been 6 months, since I last held your hand. I miss you so much. It's true you don't realize what you have, until it's gone. I will admit I used to sit there and not pay attention to your stories and advice. Now I miss it. The advice that came from you, I don't think anyone else could give. You were a very wise man that had been through a lot in his life. I should have listened to you more. I will admit though somethings you told me have stuck. I will someday soon show you, that I can be the girl you always wanted me to be. I am slowly putting my life back together. I have a very good job, and a very nice apartment, with a great friend. Pop's why is it so hard to let go of something or someone? I can't get myself to believe that your gone. My mind know's your gone, but not my heart. Everytime I look into granny's eyes I see you. I hope that your having a great time up in heaven. I just want you to know even though I may have not shown it a lot, that I do love you. I love you with all my heart, and that will never change. I looked at you and Granny as my second parents. I don't feel like I lost a Grandpa, I feel like I lost a Father. Please watch over Granny Pop's, she misses you dearly. Well I hope to see you in my dreams soon. I love you.. Your loving grandaughter Stafney.

Dear Pops,



I just wanted to say that I have been thinking of you a lot. Easter was nice. It was at Aunt Maria's house. Grandma colored the Easter Eggs. And I won the breaking of the eggs for the 3rd year in a row. It wasnt the same though with out you. I missed your ham, my mom made the ham this year. It was good, but not like yours. I miss you grandpa. I can't help but think of you everyday. Things are a lot different now. I never realized how different things were going to be. I would do anything to go back to the way it used to be. I miss your stories, I even miss you telling me what's wrong and right. Pop's grandma really miss's you. Please keep a look out for her. Make sure that when she sleeps that she has good dreams. Come into her dreams one night and dance with her. She would love that. Well I'm going to go. I love you Pop's.



Love your

Grandaughter

Poppers,

You were my "Hero" you were always there for me as I grew up to be a woman.

The memories of Mobile Avenue Growing up as a child, Sunday trips to church, Russell's and Thea Thea's. Everything we did was always as a family. A family who loved and grew together to respect and cherish each other.

A father that walked me down the aisle and gave my hand to a man that you knew would and could fill your shoes. And as you stood there proud as could be, you said to that man, "Sorry son no refund". Knowing that Jim was the one. Years have passed since that day and times were getting tough for you, and then the phone calls started...

"Hevy Dong Ga Young Ga Hee" can you go to the store for me. Get your pen and paper you can run but you can't hide, someday your gonna miss me. I'd reply, "Yeah sure Poppers" but now that your gone and the weekends have passed I've really missed your phone calls. What I'd give to have one more.

It broke my heart to see you pass but I know your with your family and friends. And I know you went up to heaven doing the jitter bug with a cigarette in one hand and a shot and a beer in the other.

I'll never forget you Pops you were right "Your always on my mind" I know someday I will see you again. I Love You Daddy!!!

Your daughter Evie

Buzz,

As a child my fondest memories were at your house, Russles barbeque, Dance class, Sunday mornings with pancakes, Family classics on chanel 9, and to top it all off with a long nap on the green sofa.



As an adult my memories are, Hair cuts in the kitchen, Stories about old times, And shopping at Carsons.

Oh, your love for good bargains. You always said... Full prices are for fools.



I am always truly greatfull for all that you have pased on to me and my family.

You have inspired Scott with your sense of good style.

My son Zachary has inherited your love of numbers.

And my daughter Alexandra's passion to save money like you have done your whole life.

And finally Me Buzz you are and always will be the Wind Beneath My Wings. I will love you forever, Christina, Scott, Zachary, and Alexandra

I met a very special man

who would surely change my life



I could never have imagined

he had a special wife



I knew that they would like me

from the very start



Because the day I met them

they stole my very heart



I only got to meet them

how lucky could I be



This girl I had these feelings for

had this special family



I never could have imagined

what they would bring my life



When I asked this gentlemen,

May your daughter be my wife



With just a little smile

he changed my life for good



I knew in just that instant

it was love we understood



And as a wedding present

her father gave to me



With all of his best wishes

this loving family



I told him never worry

I will hold them tight



And I will be a shepherd

there never out of sight



I will always cherish Dad

all the fun filled years



All your wonderful stories

the laughter, joy and tears



Oh I so want to thank you

for all that you have done



And for every single memory

and the way you touched this one



So know when you look down on us

we'll see your smile Dad



You'll fill our hearts with so much joy

we never could be sad





With all my love

forever

Jim

Dear Poppers,

I just want to say I am so lucky to have known you as long as I did. Thank you for taking care of me when I was little, like a second father. I will never forget the sound your belt made when I was in trouble, You and I making paper airplanes, The market, Greek picnics, and especially your house on mobile. I had some great times with you POP'S, and you will surely be missed by me. You were the best grandfather a girl could ever have. I miss you, and I will never forget the times we had. "SAGAPO" Your Grandaughter "STAAFNEY"

Dear Nota,Christine,Evie,Maria & Steve,



I have wonderful memories of your father in your home on Mobile, as a young girl growing up I remember so vividly upon entering your home, he would be in the family room with his incredibly great smile, extrordinary sense of humor and always offering a piece of fruit. His character and charm were so natural you could not help but love this man. Time passes so quickly, but memories are forever.

Christ will surely be missed, but never forgotten.



God Bless all of you,

Sincerely & with sympathy,



Connie

From the moment you met Christ, you

became a member of his family. He was a sweet, good man who will be sorely missed by all who knew him.



Our loss is heavens' gain.

I'm sure we will all miss your shopping center bargins as you were the best at finding the "good deals" as you would say. I think Value City and Carson's will not be the same without you. I know we won't be the same. Where are we going to hear the latest jokes and the up-to-date medical findings? We know you're watching out for everyone, so put in a good word for us all. Miss you.



Your Loving Sis

Hey "Keecho!"



I'll never forget our days at the market and our field trips to the track ("Navy Fuzz"). It was a pleasure doing bakery runs for you!



I will miss you and always love you.



Your Loving Sister,

We will always remember the laughter and kindness. Our prayers are with you.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Chris was one of the sweetest men I have ever known. Who can forget his shopping sprees and all the deals he was able to get.

I know he will be missed by all his family and friends.

He was such a wonderful person, and what a character! I always enjoyed our conversations and will miss him terribly.

Our deepest condolences on your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are

with. May his memory be eternal!

May the peace of our Lord Jesus

Christ reign in your hearts!
