On September 13, 2012, I lost my grandfather to lung cancer. He was one of the most caring and loving men on this planet. He always put his family first and worked hard his entire life. He raised four amazing children and unconditionally loved his six grandchildren. Lung cancer took my Poppy’s life too early and our hearts still ache with sadness.

In honor of Harry, we formed a team in this Free to Breathe event to raise awareness about lung cancer and help those who are suffering from it now. Please join our team and/or donate today. There’s no price to save a life.  

First Father's Day in Heaven

June 17, 2013
Kim Miller 14 hours ago My father was a man who had smiles to brighten everyone's day, a man who knew how to make you feel good and what to do to make your wishes come true. He was patient and kind and the very best friend you could ever find. My heart still aches in sadness. Dad to hear your voice and see your smile and to just sit and talk to you would be my only wish today on your very First Father's Day in Heaven xoxoxo

Josephine Hannigan shared In Loving Memory's photo. Monday I love you !!! I wish you were here with me.I still cant believe ur gone :(


Those special memories of you,
will always bring a smile.
if only I could have you back,
for just a little while.

The we could sit and talk again;
just like we use to do
you always meant so much me,
and always will do too.

The fact that you're no longer here,
will always cause me pain,
but you're forever in my heart,
and that's where your going to stay.

   Untill we meet again...!

Happy Birthday Dad ♥

Kim Miller Yesterday near Lodi, NJ Dad, after losing you I realize how much you loved me and how much I felt safe with you. You were the shield for me in bad weathers, you were the biggest support in harsh times, you were the man who made me realize my dreams. If only you could see the tears you left behind and if only you could heal my heart one more time. You are a loss that NOTHING can replace. Your gentle, loving, kind and generous heart will never be forgotten. Your spirit will always be with me. Happy Birthday Dad ♥

Poppy, words can't describe how I feel right now. I know you're in a better place and not suffering anymore, but I wish you were still here at home with us. You would always come in my room to check on me just to make sure I am okay and you always would pray for everyone to have better, healthier days. I am so happy I have you up in heaven now as my angel because there is no other person who can protect me like you can. I love you forever and always and miss you soo much already. You will always be inside my heart ❤This isn't goodbye - this is I'll see you soon. RIP Poppy..2/5/48-9/13/12

christmas 1964 - From Maryann Stathopoulos

September 20, 2012

I really don't have any good childhood memories growing up in such a dysfunctional family. When our dad left my older sister was married and gone and my older brother was off in Vietnam. That left Harry to become the "man" of the house. At 13 years old he tried really hard to keep the rest of us in order. 
I remember we didnt celebrate Christmas cause my beloved Grandmother had died 2 days before in 1963 so my Mom would not have anything to do with Christmas. 
Well Harry felt so bad for us young ones that he went out and somehow got us a tree and all the decorations to put up we were so happy. We didn't have any gifts but we sure did have the best Christmas tree ever that year thanks to Harry. 
I left New York at 15 to finish school in Michigan,when I returned Harry was a man and very in love with his wife Josie. 
He tried his best with what he was taught. In the end he was a loving father and grandfather. Bless you Harry! You will be missed.

A Tribute to My Brother

September 16, 2012

My brother could've been a great contender and win the Golden Glove. 
He had that million dollar smile and those eyes that made you know your place.
He could've danced beside Fred Astaire,sang with Frank Sinatra and told a joke or two with Dean Martin.
Hell! he could've been all over the place. A mister.. should of.. could of... would of..kind of guy.
He had a hard life..this I know

I think it was our Mother or was it the father???
In any case he was a wonderful guy!
And so in the end the Good Lord saw this...made him an offer "he couldn't refuse"
He's taken him to Heaven... OH MY GOSH !!!A great place to be in cause Harry's there.
All kidding aside..I will always love and miss you.Please save a spot for me.

Love your whacked-out-pain-in-the-butt sister, Diane R.I.P.

Childhood Memory

September 14, 2012

I remember the phone broke and Harry, 16 at the time, was going to repair it. He asked me to be his assistant. 
"This is how you hold the knife and splice the wire so you can reconnect the phone. I'll do one and then you can splice the other." He said. From there he showed me how to take a toaster and a radio apart, I loved it, after all I was only 6 and spending time with your big brother was awesome. 
Harry must have taken some type of handyman job after that. I remember him running in the house all excited with tools asking me, "Hey you want to learn how to rescreen a window?" 
There we were pulling out the screen replacing it and pushing in the spline. Funny, did he know something then that I didn't? 
We just recently laughed about this and I told him I have him to thank for turning me into Mrs. Goodwrench. 
Forever be at peace dear brother until we meet again in heaven.
