Hi Dad,

I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed watching baseball with you. I remember you and I watching every pitch of the Arizona vs Yankees World Series. We spoke in such detail. Just as you kept your scorecard. Of course, a mechanical pencil only - only to attempt more detail.

I want to tell you that Alyssa has learned to keep score. Started at the age of 3 - wrote a backwards k and gave the scorecard back - she was done. But now, she is loves it and keeps score at every game.

I told her the first time you took me to a Cubs game against the Astros, she wanted me to take her to where we sat, I remembered.

In 2003, you said to doc, keep me alive so I can see the Cubs in the World Series. As you witnessed, they never made it. Although, you were always more concerned about winning the pennant.

Unfortunately, even days later you had passed. November 2nd, 2003.

Well, as you may know, they actually made it to the World Series.

And in game 7, they won. On November 2nd, 2016.

Poetic Justice.........

I miss you!

Please continue to watch over Maddy, Caitlyn and Alyssa.

Love always,

Ray

How appropriate my man that the Cubs are in the World Series on this day! Your family has been going crazy rooting for them but you already know that you have the best seat in the house! Bring home a winner for them and please say Hi to all our family and friends that are all sitting in the front row with you. Love you & miss you take care my man!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

I miss those 'crazy' Birthday's WE had together as a family. Whether it was constantly getting a basketball every year, lotto tickets, burnt peanuts or any assorted candy, or setting up the camera to catch our 'crazy' conversations - just to name a few.

The 'gut wrenching' laughter that ensued is what is priceless.
Thank you!

I wish Maddy, Caitlyn and Alyssa had a chance to experience the craziness, pure love and laughter that we so enjoyed for so many years.

Thank you.

I miss you.

Happy Birthday, Dad.

Roy (hahaha)

Richard, hard to believe you have been gone almost 13 years.....so much missed, so many people have followed you......so I am sure you are celebrating with a party up in heaven with your closest friends and family.......We love you and miss you every day...... Love Gayle

Dear Richard,

Miss you dearly, miss your hugs and flowers you used to bring out of the blue.....just to say thanks.  Kids are fine and grandchildren and getting older and prettier.....you would have had a blast with them....I know you have more friends with you than you ever expected keeping you company.....take care of yourself until we meet again.........Love your wife.....forever!!!

Hey, Homes............

I don't believe there is a day that goes by that I don't think about you!!!

You and Mom have shaped us into being very successful!

Anyone reading this, please pass on............!

Words to live by that were chalked into wood above my father's    work-bench;

Attitude
Desire
Sacrifice

'You win'

Apply those terms into anything you do, and you will be successsful!

I miss you Dad!

You and Mom are the most influential people in my life!

I am very lucky to have all the memories of such an incredible family of which includes all the extended familly that have always been there.

Thank you!

I Love you Dad!

Sleep well
