Hey Dad! This has been a rough week with Father's Day & your Birthday... miss talking to you and hearing your advice and knowledge. Love You!

Sad day today for me. I know you would say "suck it up buttercup". They say it gets easier, but I just don't know... Most days I do smile when I think about you and the memories, but today is the opposite. DAD, Love & Miss you...

Always in my Heart Dad !!!! xoxo

Happy Birthday to YOU!! It is still your day & I know you are fishing where you are and you are just reeling them in; one after another... 5 years seems like a short time, but it really is a long time to be without you DAD. Love & Miss you SO MUCH.

well pop , its been 4 years since I've touched your hands. since I seen your face. The face I get told I look like. I miss you so much . Did not get to drink my miller light draft tonight , your grandson decided I needed to spend my night in the ER because he broke his hand. Me and him decided May 9th was a crappy day . It is the worst day don't like this day. But I keep your memory alive in all of us my kids loved you , I loved you we all loved you . Still think of you everyday. I honestly think I will forever. . RIP POP I adore you

Thinking of you today & every day. Those moments go through my mind, all the emotions on that day 4 years ago. I'm SO thankful I was able to be with you, however I am extremely grateful I was able to be with you the weekend before. I miss you SO much and LOVE you so much. Always in my Heart!

Had our 3rd annual Pee wee Bass tournament this weekend. and it went so well. 15 boats entered. Of course a great turn out . Whatever we can do to keep your memory alive .I am so proud to be your daughter, I will never miss your tournament and I will keep it going as long as im on this earth. WE DO IT FOR YOU DADDY!!!!!

Happy Birthday little brother, I can not believe it has been three years because it hurt as much today as it did three years ago. Our love for you has made us all closer and you would be so proud of you kids and grandkids, you have left a wonderful legacy.

Happy birthday dad. Not a day goes by where I don't think about you. You are one of the greatest men I have had in my life. I love and miss you.

Happy Birthday Pop . first of all I drank my nasty Miller light and I lit my candle for 62 min. for you. It has been over 3 years since you left us ! My heart hurts everyday Missing you . Not a day goes by that I don't talk to you and hope you find a way to talk to me again? I just want you to know the pride you gave to your kids the love you have from your kids. WE had your memorial blue gill tourney today . You didn't bring your daughters much luck but I forgive you . lol Its pretty sad we didn't even have enough fish to weigh in . But the reason we have these tourneys is to keep your memory alive , and to show the world how much we adored you ! I can only hope that my kids feel half the love I feel for you ! miss you pop more than any words in the world can express !

Daddy , I wonder everyday what life would be if you were still here? I watch brave Joan cry at a drop of a hat , I see your Hat and Jacket hang in the dinning room like your coming home soon! I see so many of us morn your loss like it was yesterday ! but reality tells me its been almost 3yearss oh shit it has been 3 years, May 9th was 3 years we lost you. I've heard your ok with this all but I know we are not the same since! I want to talk to you about your brat ass grandkids , they are giving me some trouble , I want to see you laugh and say ,"Hun your getting what you deserve" and sympathize im raising Kim's kid but watch your eyes light up when you call her yours.. I laugh at the strict rules I put on my kids , cause that's how my dad did it! If I raise my 3kids to respect and love me like I do you , then im good ! rest in peace pop I love you so much !

Hard day. I lost your voice mail message today but by the grace of god someone was able to put it on a CD . I don't ever wanna loose that voice. each year I forget a little but I will never forget the man you were. how blessed I was to have you. even if I only had you for a short time! Some people only dream of a father like you. but I had it. and I will never forget it.

Daddy its been 2 years today since we lost you . I cant tell you how much I still miss you everyday. I miss fishing with you . I miss just talking to you . all those special moments when we just talked about the kids the past and fishing stories. I will never be whole again because of you being gone. You were such a special person. I couldn't have asked for a better father. Your grandkids adored you and You were everything to all of us .. until we meet again. Love you pop forever

Thinking of you more today than every other day. All of this week's events from two years ago are running through my mind... but all of the memories are making me smile more thatn cry. Miss you SO very MUCH!!! Love you!

miss you so much daddy. I thank god for you how was I so blessed to have you??? Most people have lives they regret. not me I talk about my childhood all the time. I was the fortunate 1. I have memories I have stories. to tell my kids and with each story they have their own about grandpa. (you) Just so blessed and so proud to be your family . especially being your daughter. I know your still here I feel your presence with me. My Daddy bird outside. Not fair you left us so early. but I will always carry on your memory..

Daddy You are missed so much . I am getting stronger everyday, but I still miss you like crazy. I hope you are seeing all the moments you are missing. I am grateful for the family you created . I am grateful for the life you gave me the morals you instilled in me. the person I am because of you. but it doesn't make me miss you any less. forever I will miss you . forever I will morn. forever I will wish you were here with me. And the day we meet again I will hold you and tell you all this. I will live my life to the best of my ability and hopefully raise my children to respect and love me as I did you. YOU ARE FOREVER IN MY HEART!

Dad - we are having this Memorial Tournament this Sunday and you need to make the rain GO AWAY! We all want to help make your dreams come true by helping a High School fishing team. Plus if you can talk to your other fishing buddies tell them to come FISH! Wish you could be here helping with this, but maybe we wouldn't be having it at all if you were here. Miss YOU! LOVE YOU!

One year has passed today & it seems like yesterday. We all miss you SO MUCH! We have our wonderful memories of times with you, & stories from you.Some days are still tough knowing you are gone, but we all know you LIVED life to the fullest & you are with us in so many ways watching over us, holding our hand & still encouraging us to do & be our best.

Dad, I am missing you so much today on your birthday 6-20-12. It is still so hard to believe you are now watching over all of us. Thank you for EVERYTHING you did for me in my life. You were the best Dad any kid/adult/daughter could ever ask for! I LOVE YOU!

Hope your having the best birthday ever Garry. You are missed RIP...

Garry was without a doubt the most honest caring man God ever created. He loved family, all of us but especially his children and grandchildren. He corrected his children as they were growing-up because that was his job, but his grandchildren could do no wrong. He did not believe it was his job to correct them, just to love them and he was a master at that.
