Today is a day to celebrate your life. To give gratitude, love and thankfulness for playing your role in giving me life. To remind you the huge influence you continue to be in my life. Your wisdom resonates within me daily. Your insight was so profound. You understood life on life's terms. You accepted and taught me that everything happens for the right reason and the only constant is change. These life lessons have and will continue to guide me the rest of the day's of my life. I have passed down these positive affirmations to your granddaughter Savannah. She knows you very well. I speak of you daily and always make sure to let everyone know that crosses my path that you are my inspiration and hero. I love you daddy now and forever. Fly high Angel. Watch over us. Walk beside us. I feel you when the wind gently blows against my face. Until we are reunited I hold you close in my heart. One day when my work is done here on earth; we will hold each other with an embrace that will last for eternity. Hugs and kisses XOXO XOXO

Just thinking about you daddy. They say one grieves because there is still so much love to give and no way to express it. How true. Love never dies. You live on in my heart, mind and soul. Kim says I'm just like you. What an honor. Sometimes the pain is unbearable. I just cry and cry. I know we'll be together one day. That is when I'll stop missing you. Until then, my heart yearns for you. Love you so much xoxo

Merry Christmas Daddy. Thinking of you today and everyday like always. Celebrating Christmas and remembering the wonderful man you were and are. I thank God for the opportunity to spend time with you after you retired. It was then that I got to know the brilliant, selflessness, compassionate, loyal man I had the privilege to call father. Just as Jesus did you sacrificed your time and energy to provide for your children and children that weren't even your own. That in itself speaks volumes. I love you everyday until my last day

Another year has gone by and you are still so missed by everyone. The fact that your children still feel your presence is a testament as to how close you all were. For that, you have been and were all truly blessed.

Keep watching over everyone.

Hey, my precious daddy!! I know after your last breath here on earth, you took your first breath in HEAVEN, I can't even fathom the beauty and joy are experiencing!! Like my sister Doreen said, even with time it does not get any easier on the heart! You are missed beyond words! These are times I wish you and all of us could be sitting around sharing stories from the past and making new memories! There is no substitute for pain, except for your presence! Your grand boy Caleb mentions you on the things that he remembers most. The horn that you had put on your mustang he can imitate! And it makes him laugh every time! He loves TRAINS and BUSES! I always tell him about how you drove a bus in New York City! I have even pulled up pictures of what they look like! I do believe you are in complete peace!! I feel your presence often! You are loved beyond measure! LOVE YOU DADDY

I miss you so so very much. I hope your at peace and having great times once again with your mother, grandpa and Tommy, and all our relatives. Till next time. I always have you in my heart till eternity. Miss you and love you my father... Your daughter Doreen. Also I'm sure you know Ronnie woke up crying for you 2 nights ago. We all love and miss you.

They won first place N.E.B.A.S. 2015 . You would be so proud of the boys. Cody doing his 2nd year of honors but now more classes. His average is a 4.0  and he also made the Principal list all year. I'm so proud of them. Cory started a job working for the Department of Public Works. He got his first pay check yesterday. I know you are proud of all your grandkids. I just wish you were here. Just to see the boys play a game. I hope you're watching and are proud. Enjoy your day with grandpa, grandma Mae and Tommy and all the family. I Love You Daddy. Happy 74th birthday in heaven.

Hi Daddy! I know this is a day late. I hope it will let me leave a message because I've had trouble with this sight. GOD only knows the hollow feeling I feel inside. All of us grieve for YOU! Wow the joy you must have. The pain is very real no matter how much time goes past. It would have been wonderful all of us going to HEAVEN at the same time, but that is not GOD's plan. Death is only a temporary separation. I'm glad you are not suffering anymore. I thank GOD that you had Doreen there with you. I wish I could have been there to hold you to the end. I feel half way complete now that you are gone. It does not get any easier as time goes by. I just hold on to the memories I have. You will never be far from my heart and soul. Caleb just said he feels sad you are gone. Caleb wants to tell you he will be celebrating his 13th birthday in four days. He wishes you were here to take him for a ride in your mustang. He loves mustangs. Well I will close for now. Love you more than life! WE miss you bunches!!!!!!  Love, Teetle

Dear All,

I came upon this page by accident and cried since I knew your father and family from 124 Ft. George Ave. in NY. I remember spending Christmas with all of them and that beautiful tree that adorned the living room. Your father and I had a very hard time listening to Silent Night and cried every time we heard it. I remember his parents and how he cared for his father when he had his strokes. While he had his issues as everyone does, he worked very hard to support his family and that's what I remember the most...he was always working.

I remember Loreen and Doreen (Reeny) as we called her and even that horrible day that that Doberman bit Doreen. It's etched in my memory forever. I remember well both Ronnie their mother and Lorraine, Spence's, second wife, her childeren, and her mother, too. It's like yesterday for me in flashbacks now. Time really does go by so fast.

Well, I wish you and your entire family the best; you come from strong stock.

P. S. My mother who just turned 100 is still alive but my brother, Steven, died on the top floor of the World Trade Center in 2001 in the attacks.
