Family Tributes In Loving Memory of Dad He never looked for praises. He was never one to boast. He just went on quietly, working for the ones he loved the most His dreams were seldom spoken. His wants were very few. And most of the time, his worries Went unspoken, too. He was there...a firm foundation Through all the storms of life A sturdy hand to hold on to In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to When times were good or bad, One of our greatest blessings... The man we all called DAD. - John, Stephanie, Jennifer, Teresa & Timothy ~

We’ll always remember you Grampa because there’ll never be another one to replace you in our hearts. - Grandchildren & Great-grandchildren ~
To Our Dear Brother You left without warning, gone so fast Now all we have are memories of our past. You are loved by so many; you might not have known But in our hearts is where you have grown. The memories we have throughout the years Will last forever, with laughter and tears. We will miss you oh so much! So will all the others whose lives you’ve touched! - Erma Jean & Truman ~
