Hey pop I know it’s been a while been thinking about you a lot. Boy do I miss our talks. Just wanted to say I got married again I think you would like her. She takes real good care of me. I know she would have loved you. Boy I do miss you. Just wish we had one more day there is so much I want to tell you. Please keep looking over us. I finally did what you said and got into a job that’s not law enforcement. I know you see me. Please keep me on the right path. Love you dad I hope to see you again.

Rest in peace my friend

Happy Birthday Papa Bear! Still miss you!
Love,
Baby Bear!

Papa bear, I still miss you! Your great grand babies are the sweetest and I wish they could have gotten to know you!

Dad I have been thinking of you so much lately I really need you now more than ever I have so many questions and don’t know where to start. I miss the times that we had. I miss hearing your voice and telling me to turn my hat around. I have grown since you I saw you last.so many things have changed. I know you look down on us everyday and shake your head. I saw some uno cards the other day and thought about the times we had playing. I hope you are taking care of earl. I miss y’all so much I can’t stand it. I feel sometimes I really don’t have a man figured to talk to I was talking with pops a lot but when he passed I’m sure you told him everything and he told you some stuff to. I really wish I could just tell you everything on year but I really want it to be private between us. Dad I love you say hey to earl pops and George for me. I love and miss you so much. Hopefully one day I will see you again. Love you your son Tim

So much has changed this year Papa Bear. Your Reebok and Rocky are doing so good. I miss you so much and wish I had you to talk to like before! I love you!
Baby Bear!

Happy Birthday Papa Bear! I miss you and wish you could see your granddaughters. They are beautiful young women and you would be proud.
I love you and wish you were here to talk to about everything!

Baby Bear

We will always miss and love you. Thinking of you today as we often do.

We miss you, Alan. So many things have changed and I know you would have just the right thing to say. We miss you and love you.

Papa Bear, I miss and love you so much! I am thankful I had you in my life to guide me. (You still do because I hear your voice in my head when I need advice!)
Skinny Belle (Michelle)

I miss our talks and your words of wisdom. (I can see you shaking your head at the craziness of today's world and can only imagine what you'd be saying!) No matter what was going on, I knew you were just a call away and were always willing to listen (and advise). I love you and miss you!

We think of you often and were so blessed to have you in our lives. There are so many things you taught me and I carry your words of wisdom with me daily. We love you so much.

Happy birthday and still miss you

Wel just wanted to say hey and that I love you. And miss you so much.  Your son Tim

To my brother-in-law's family, he is truly missed and was so loved. I appreciate the history lessons he shared with me over the years, his dark dry humor, and talking about how he lived on a plantation (in reference to being married to Margaret, who, in his words "ran the plantation" and he loved it immensely.

We miss you being on this earth very much. You taught us so many things. There is hardly a day that goes by I don't think of some 'words of wisdom' you imparted on us and made us better. We love you.

Margaret, I know that you have lost the best friend that you have ever known in this lifetime and that your children and his have lost a loving, caring father. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers and that you and your family are thought of as these times are not easily passed. May your memories be wonderful ones and may the Lord take care of you and yours in the days ahead. May your thoughts always be happy ones where he is concerned. Lots of love and prayers for you and your family.

Big love and big hugs to my sweet friends Angie, Michelle, and Tim during this time. My prayers are with you three and the rest of the family, knowing that God is holding each one of you in the palm of his giant, loving hand. I pray He is a comfort to each of you.

Well Today we will lay to rest the one man that i truly love forever,God please give me the power to carry on what he has taught me.I love you dad,Please look in on us to make sure we stay the way you raised us we won't let you down,Say hey to george and earl for me,oh and please try and not take over up there to soon,one day at a time,i will not say good by i will say see you later....love you daddy.

Papa Bear! I am the person I am because of you! My life could have taken so many wrong directions, but you put me on the right path. You loved "Skinny Belle" even when I know it was hard! You walked me down the aisle and gave me to my best friend, you shared in the birth of "Rocky" and "Reebok" and made me laugh when I did not want to. You showed me how to love unconditionally and not put up with any "mess". You showed me life was to be lived and not focus on the negative! I love you and will miss you!
Margaret, family and friends: I pray you find God's peace, comfort and strength during this time of loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dad the only thing I can say is I will miss you every day. You showed me how to be a man. Even though you are my step dad you were there for me when I needed you you always came to my rescue. When it came to anything I will miss you so much. I love you dad. I will see you again one day rest well. Your son. Tim

'ALVIN'!! You were so instrumental in our lives and truly the rock that kept us on the right paths. You knew when to be strong and when to be patient and when to be the old softie (that you really were beneath that tough exterior). We love you very much. We didn't speak often enough, but you were always in our thoughts. To the Dry Family - Our prayers for peace and strength. Losing someone so full of life will leave a deafening empty place in all our hearts. Love, The Duck

◦Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. Enjoyed Knowing Alan  Wayne Faber (Apex Police 911)
