Bob, you will never know how grateful I am to have gotten the chance to get to know you better and call you friend. I will miss our talks out on the patio. Know that there will be empty spot in my life that you left. Much love to you Bob, and may you rest in peace.
Dad, I wanna thank you for being the best dad a kid could ever have. You always made the best out of any situation. You & mom made miracles at every holiday for the family. I will miss you dearly and my life will never be the same. I only can hope to be half the man you were. I love you Dad.
Love, Billy
You will be missed greatly. I first remember you when I was a teenager and living with my grandparents and my grandmother would go to the old senior citzen center and do ceramics and you worked in there. My grandmother always thought highly of you.
