I'm so sorry for your loss, I was never able to meet your boys. I'm sure they will be as great as their Dad was. He was and will always be a good man. He was always kind and loving to my son Tom, he was known as Grampa D.

I am grieving for everyone - Annie, Melissa, Michelle, Joe, Marie and all of the Delia cousins, who were so close at times. I also express my sorrow to Phil's family, including his twins, who I am sure I will never know. He was a good man and I loved him as family for many years. May God comfort all who bear the sadness; and welcome Phil home.
Donna Helma - friend for many years.

I am really gonna miss you buddy. I'm gonna miss all of those police stories you used to tell us. And how you would ask did I tell you this one and we would all say yes, but you would tell us anyway. I'm really glad I got to know you over these last 11 years and that we became family. I promise you that Shan and I will do whatever we can to help Gina and the boys. Hope they have some good fishing up there for you. Love you, Dan.
