I will be with you folks at the funeral. I have many thankful memories. I can remember about his straight-face of sense of humors. As a child, I sometimes didn’t know if he was joking or not. I’m thinking a lot about Lynn and Kathy.
Dad…I love you very much and you will be missed by all of us. You were a wonderful father and I learned so much from you. Thank you for everything. I love you
Lynn
Our thoughts and prayer are with you during this time
Grandpa, I will miss you a lot. Even though Allie never met you & Alexi was so young to remember you I will make sure they know who you were, a kind, gentle, stubborn man, who loved his family very much. You were the only person to tell me you were proud of me when I was a teenager & that will stay with me forever. I will carry on your stubborness. I love you, Jamie Jamer
My fondest memory of Bob was his love of golf. I had not seen Bob in 14 years or more, and I regret not being able to spend more time with him, to be able to learn things from him. He has gone to a better place, and someday in the future we’ll all be able to see him again.
