Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. What do you say about a guy who you’ve known most of your life. I know he loved my sister so much, and took care of her and his children. He was a good Brother in law. Always accepting of our family. Never judging anyone. He’s a good man and I am sure that he and Karen are reunited now and happy. He’ll be missed.

  2. You always knew where you stood with this guy with three names (Richard, Donald, Dick). For instance, I died my hair red one time and when he saw me he said: “WTH did you do to your hair?”. We had a great rapport, and we enjoyed exchanging gag Christmas gifts. One year he gave me a “Toilet Fishing” game! And we enjoyed representing the seniors at Sunday family dinners at Drew & Kristy’s , often exchanging memories of back in the day. Glad Tom and I got to see him one last time, but I dread seeing that empty chair at the dinner table. You will be greatly missed, my friend-in-law ❤️ Hope you’ll smile down when you read this.
