Dad, I`ll never forget the times that we had together. They were very special to all of us. Myself & my 3 brothers. They were great. From the time you took us on the weekends to visit Grandma to the time you bought the `57 Fleetwood that you gave to Joey P. And everything in between & beyond. You are “OUR” Dad. We are very proud of the things that you accomplished while you were here & the times that we had together. I am going to miss you & them times. We Love you Dad.

Now, your time has come to live again in a much better place where there is no pain or suffering. A place that you will be reunited with our greandparents & uncles. In this pace that we call heaven, we will see you again & relive the memories that we had here on earth.

I thank you for being here for us Dad.

Your Eldest Son,

Tom (Bubba)

I’m not sure you ever realized how much of a ‘ giver ‘ you had been. The special times you shared with my father. While he was in the nursing home, you would visit him, bring him a malt and share your days while he shared his time of him being in the army. It ment alot to him. I always was pleased to hear you call to let me know that Tony Bennet was on TV, so I would be able to enjoy his performence. You touced so many hearts. We will miss You.

I Love You.

Linda

I had the privilege of getting to know “Uncle Tom” and work with him in the early 1980’s. He adopted both myself and my friend Glenn as his “Nephews”. He was a hardworking man with a gentle spirit who always spoke his mind. His kindness and his gregarious nature taught me alot.

Dear Pa,
Five years have gone by so fast and still miss you so much. Bella recently joined you in heaven. She stayed just past her 19 birthday. Now uncle Phil has joined you just 2 years ago and hope you are resting peacefully.

Your oldest child still has your gugler coffee cup which still has those coffee stir marks in it.

I still have you riding in the car with me. I will soon share your ashes as you have requested.
