Dear Dad, You have been gone for nine years now, wow. Would you have believed the way life has gone on in these years after your departure? The sadness of losing you stays with me, yet it is tempered by the fact that I see you living on - I see you in me, in some of my own actions, my own ways of being that you taught or imparted to me. I still ask myself, “What would Dad do?” I see you in the kids, especially Sam, in your warmth, wisdom and disarming ways, the flash of a smile or a bright look in their eyes. I am grateful for the many ways you helped me grow. I am even thankful for you out there in the great beyond, continuing to look out for me, and all of us. Love you, Dad.

Sending endless love and gratitude to you, Pops, on this day (as every other day). Another year has flown by since you left this crazy old beautiful world, and your absence is mourned as deeply as ever. It doesn't get any easier. But the blessing of your humanity, presence, and enduring spirit in my life, heart, and memories continues to help sustain me. Thank you. Miss you so much. Love you always and forever.

Hi Dad,

It seems unreal that it's been 8 years since you left. It's like yesterday that we were talking, joking and sharing a smile. Your presence continues to be so strong in our lives. Miss you so much.

Love you,
Erin

Uncle Jimmy you are so missed by all of us! Life has not been the same without that smiling face and your laughter. Think of you ever time I take a walk! You were the walking King in Newport. The diehards would trek through the cold to Brick for our family dinner and of course cocktails! You are so loved, that will NEVER change. Please give my dad a kiss for me. LoAnne

How I miss you, dearest Dad! As the days and years fly by, I still rely on the guidance you gave me and your upbeat take on life to try to keep my chin up, despite everything—and I think of you and Mom, always, with love and gratitude.
Forever,
Your daughter

On this fifth annual day of mourning for you, I honor you, Dearest Dad, much-loved Pops. How quickly five years have flown by! Miss you today, as I've missed you every day since you've been gone. Miss your essence, your charismatic presence, your positivity, your rebel spirit, your smarts, your wit, your quirks, your mannerisms, your aplomb, your generosity, the way you said certain words and made the seemingly impossible possible, your supreme competence, your full-on New Yorker-ness, your toughness, your classiness, your down-to-earthiness, your levelheadedness, your voice, your laugh, your hugs, being able to talk to you, your encouragement, your counsel, your fatherly help in getting through this life, your pride in me, and more. Miss Mom too, so much, and the great love you two shared. I'll never stop missing you.

How fortunate and grateful I am for having you two beautiful, truly special people as my parents, for the unconditional love and excellent life and education you gave me, for the sacrifices you made for me!

You live on forever in your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren, sustained in our hearts, our minds, our very DNA. We all are a part of you.

Thinking of you always. Loving you until the end of time.

Four years have passed since you've been gone from this beautiful, crazy Earth, dearest Dad. One thousand four hundred and sixty days. Hard to believe. Much has changed in that brief/seemingly endless span, except this: I've missed you every one of those days—and yet you are always with me. With all my love, your daughter.

Today, Dad, on the 83rd anniversary of the day you first enriched this world with your charismatic presence, I'm honoring your life and remembering all the wonderful qualities that made you the exceptional person you were and the dear father, adviser, champion, and spirit-lifter I miss so much.

It has been two years since your passing and the loss of you is still so tremendous. Reflecting upon the rare qualities you possessed, I am continually struck by your courage, effortless good humor and wit, your humility and compassion and your consistent positive outlook, even during hard times. I continue to learn so much from you and the life you lived, even though you are no longer here. I emulate these qualities of yours, and much more, and try to instill the lessons you taught me in your great grandchildren. Dad, you are greatly missed – each and every day – you are in our hearts and on our minds. Sending love from all of us – Sam, Ruby, Alex and I, to you, dearest grandfather, we love you so much
