Condolence: Daddy. My heart is broken and itβs hard to believe you are gone. My mind is flooded with memories since I was a little girl to the present. Although you loved us all the same with all of your heart, you always called me Daddy's princess, I guess since I was your first born. You gave us all nicknames that made us feel special to you. I can remember all the Easter gifts of baby chicks and ducks, and honey goat. I remember all the Christmas mornings lined up on the stairs Dian, Taffy and I in our matching pajamas while you took home movies with that huge bar of lights. I remember riding with you in the old pickup truck as a little girl when you showed me how to shift and let me sit on your lap to steer. You never complained about getting up at 6 am to truck my horse to shows almost every weekend. It gave me so much joy that you and Maryann were so happily married and I gained a step mother, step sister, step brother and even a little brother and nieces and nephews who I all love so much. I will never forget the surprise sleepover when you, Maryann, and Mommy spent the night in my hospital room with me before my heart surgery in Miami while my husband was having his own surgery in Tulsa the same day. We stayed up almost all night telling stories and laughing, mostly because you guys could only take short naps on chairs or the floor! And I don't know what I and my girls would have done without you when my husband, Danny, died. Above all, I will remember that you were always there for me unconditionally no matter what, so kind and thoughtful, making me feel safe and that somehow everything would be ok. I know you are in heaven now still watching over all of us, with my Danny, Dian and Guy, Mommy, Jimmy, and your brothers, sister and parents. My only comfort is that I know someday we will all be together again. Until then, I will love and miss you every day Daddy.

Condolence: I never thought this day would actually come. I will miss our talks and heart to hearts, your kind gentle soul, your ridiculously funny and usually inappropriate sense of humor, and most of all I'll miss sitting in the living room, TV volume on 199, watching back to back Jeopardy & Wheel of Fortune (don't worry, I'll get on and win big soon). I'll never forget the stories you've told me, the lessons you've taught me, and love you showed me. Because of you, I know that a lasting relationship, a beautiful lifelong marriage is possible; as long as it's with you're best friend. I love you Little Pop-Pop, life won't be the same without you here. So until we meet again, crack a Budweiser and rest easy... Love, Your Princess

Condolence: Heaven gained another angel March 7th, you were the light on everyone's cloudy days. There was never a moment that I was with you that I wasn't historically laughing at the jokes you would make, and you always were there to steer me in the right direction. Growing up as your grandson I learned that compassion didn't need to come with politically correct speech; but rather with the tender, love, and care that you always showed toward everyone that you came into contact with. You are and always will be the best man I've ever known. Growing up with you as my grandfather taught me that I didn't need my paternal father to become a man. You showed me the difference between right and wrong and always went out of your way to keep the family close when times got hard. I'll forever cherish every conversation we had. It is because of you that I've learned to respect women to the highest degree and a large portion of the reason I've been able to be the best man and companion to my beautiful girlfriend Jessicca. We love you with all of our hearts and you will always be watching over us. Thank you for everything Pop Pop.
Love Always,
Dylan and Jess

Condolence: You gave me a nanny goat for my first pet, in the swamps of Florida, and showed me my first snow at five years old in Long Branch, NJ. You were the world's greatest Dad and you've got the mug to prove it.
