Four years ago when you moved in with us, you were somewhat of a stranger to me. I only knew you by phone conversation and seeing once a year in Florida. When you left us one year ago, you left as one of my best friends. I think of you everyday, but yesterday was one of the hardest since you've been gone. I miss you and I wish you could've been a part of the accomplishments I have made since then. I wish you could have seen me stock the kitchen and bathrooms with all that you had bought for me. I love you and I will never forget you or the special times that we spent together those last 3 years.

Love Always & Forever,
Dan

Grandpa,
I miss you more and more with every passing day. I think about you all of the time. I love you.

P.S. Tell Grandma and KC's Aunt Debbie that I said hi!

LOVE YOU!

Pete and Family
Wanted to say your Dad you the best neighbor anyone could have. I remember so many times we would just st and talk all afternoon. He made the neighborhood in Bartlett a much better place. His door was always open. If I need something and I went out to buy it, he would always tell me, "Why Buy when I have it". Lou, you will be missed

Ev, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know that you cherished the time that you've spent with your dad over the last couple of months. I'm sure that meant the world to him as well. Thinking of you.
