Dearest Pat, Dominic & Matthew;

Very Special people like your husband & father can never be replaced. He can only be remembered for the rich full life he led, for the things he accomplished through the years, for the the times he made us laugh and comforted us when we cried, for his thoughtfulness, his warmth and his unselfishness. He will especially be remembered for making such a positive difference in so many lives. Memories will not fade with time, but only grow stronger and dearer through the years. We miss him.

With Sympathy; Lamm Family
