Dad, they say that time heals everything. But I have to strongly disagree with that statement. All the time in the world could never heal the whole that is left in my heart since the day you went away. My life will never be the same again. A part of me went with you the day you died. I wish I could have told you face to face how much you truely meant to me. You taught me the most important qualities in life; trust, honesty, and love. I thank you so much for that. I could not have asked for a better Father, because I was given the best. Life is not easy on any of us, but somehow you always made the best of any situation that had been given to you. Like Angie said, you enjoyed the simple things in life. I just wish I could turn back time and let you enjoy them a little more. You deserve so much more than what you were given. It is always hard to see such a good person go through so much pain. I just hope that the good memories that you have outweigh the bad times you went through. Please know Dad that there is not a minute that passes by that I do not think of you. You are always in my thoughts. You were such a big part of my life, everything I do makes me think of you. I miss talking to you everyday. I sometimes think of calling you and it takes me a minute to realize that I can't. It still doesn't seem real to me that you are gone. I guess it is just hard for me to accept. Jacob misses his PA, there are so many things that he is learning now. I hope you are watching him from above. I will make sure he knows who his PA is when he is older, and how great of a Grandfather he was. Danny misses you too Dad, even though he doesn't always show it. You know how he is, always holding in his emotions. I see a lot of you in him Dad. He is such a great Father to Jacob, and a great husband to me. I know you are at peace Dad knowing that we have each other, and knowing that Angie and Rick have each other also. You taught us that Family comes first, and we are all here for each other because of that. Dad; I love you, I miss you, and I cannot wait until we meet again. I will wrap my arms around you so tight and never let go. Please watch over me, Danny, Jacob, Angie, Rick, Courtney, and Ryan. We need it Dad. I hope Jackson is by your side, and let him know that his Mommy, Daddy, and Big Brother Jacob miss him.
I love you Dad, very much! (Like you told me everyday)
Your Baby Girl,
Amanda
(Danny & Jacob too)

I knew that I would not be able to speak about my Dad at his funeral even though I had so many thought's running through my mind of what I wanted to say. He was a great Dad and Pa, but most of all he was my friend. I miss talking to him everyday when he would call to just say "Hi" or talk about the weather! He was such an important part of me and Amanda's live's that a part of us is gone forever. My Dad will alway's live on in my memory, someone so special can never really go away. Rick and I and the kid's will never forget your little getaway's to Indiana and all the fun times that we had just swimming or being out in the backyard. You loved to live and make the most out of life with just the simple thing's. You have taught me more that you can ever imagine and I am greatful that I have you as my Dad."Happy Father's Day" (it's coming up on Sunday), it will alway's be the hardest day to get through. I love you and I know that I will see you again someday.
Love Always,
Angie & Rick
Courtney & Ryan too!

To the family of Paul,
Please except my deepest sympathies
on your loss. I've known Paul for 30+ years and after moving out of the neightborhood our paths crossed again at Domnicks in the lottery line. Often we met in the lottery line and would laugh about when we were going to win big. Paul always had a smile that would light up a room. He will be missed! May God bless the entire family and just remember: There is a place that lies beyond and past those golden doors awaits the one whos now away, not lost just gone before.
