Dad, there is no real way to tell people what you meant to our family. You were always there for us and gave us everything you could give. Never being good at saying I love you the most cherished words I ever heard was when you were in the hospital and said “I love you, I love you all”. Well we love you dad and someday we will all be together again. Now you and Mike please watch over us, have some fun and catch up on things while you have time. Give Mike a hug for me. Hugs and kisses to two of my favorite guys. Don’t worry, I promise we will take good care of mom. Love you, Judy
I Remember Diane’s dad when Diane and I were growing up together; It was hard to hear that he past away. He was like a second dad to me and it was a treat to go camping with them. His laughs his jokes and a really down to earth dad. I myself will never forget those memories; Our family sends all of your family condolences…
Thomas stay cool in heaven’s gates!
