I will never understand!! I know I will see both someday again. Love you John and Lisa and miss you both so much.

For my funny, adorable, wonderful baby brother. 50 years oldwow. This year's May Babies Birthday Bash would have been EPIC, because you would have been the star! I feel you and Lisee with us always. So you must be VERY proud of your beautiful children. Kath has done an awesome job raising two funny, intelligent, gorgeous, caring human beings who have amazing futures ahead of them!! They make their parents, along with the Hosman and Parrish clans, so very proud. We miss you every day, but at least with them in our lives we have a part of you with us always!! So raise a glass and have a Birthday toast with our other beloved May Baby . All your loved ones will smile, try not to shed too many tears, and will raise a toast to our missing birthday boy. Love you always Johnny!

To my little brother,

On the days that I'm missing you the most, I remember that last day we were together working upstairs at Ron & Lisa's . . . we laughed our butts off. Now, I just close my eyes and see your smile. Miss and love you so very much.

Hey Buddy,
I love you and miss you every day; it's gotten easier, but still sucks not seeing you. The other day I was thinking about that parrot we used to have that would ‘crack you up' when it would mimic you. Sure miss that laugh!! Will stop by soon.

Hey John,
Maybe the third times a charm. I wrote this two times already but it never appeared. I think it was because I used the word a_ _. I know that would upset you so I'm glad it was omitted:)
We had a great day with all of your family at your site today. We stood around talking about memories we had of you, lots of laughs and some tears. Told the story about the 'talking parrot' and how you would almost be rolling on the floor when you talked to it and it would repeat what you said. Thanks for the 'signal' you sent us when your and Judi's favorite Bon Jovi song came on when they pulled in the cemetery. Then we had a great time with your kids. They are doing great! We all went up to watch Maddie cheerleading; she really loves doing it and is very good at it. Josh or should I say 'Little John' was there and we then all went out to lunch and then some ice cream. Had a great time with them. I had some pictures of when you about Josh's age that I brought with and it's amazing how much you looked like Josh now. Julie sure misses you! She is doing great, has a boyfriend, Zach, that she has been seeing for a year next week. He is a good kid and I think you would have approved of him.:) We did some college trips this summer and she will be sending out applications soon. Can't believe she is a senior already. I started playing again with our old gang. We talk about the 'old times' we had on the court and I found out we we're called the 'two crazy brother's' but we sure kicked some butt on the court huh? I brought you a racquetball to signify our conquers on the court together. Well just wanted to tell you we all miss you very much and love you. Can't believe it's been 3 years.
Love you John and miss you everyday,

Ron Hosman

Hey John,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Well another X-mas and New Year go by and both sucked like last years. Between you passing away and no kids on X-mas, it has not been the same. I really don't look forward to Xmas anymore. We finally had Xmas with your kids and I ended up having to work. Maddie gave me a great present, an ornament with some writing on it. It's cool.

Other than the holidays, it's been pretty uneventful around here. Work has been busy, but that's the way I prefer it.
Well speaking of work, I should be getting back to it.

Love you and miss you very much.

Your brother!!
