2 years ago you left me. Thought as time passes it would get easier but it hasn't. I remember this day as if it was yesterday and instead of getting easier it has been harder each and everyday. The memories will never be forgotten. I miss your laughter and hard times you give me on a daily basis. when things go wrong here I am constantly yelling at you to stop making my day harder but who would you be if you didn't do this to me. Kirsty checks up on me regularly and other jumpers stay in touch. Continue having fun in heaven and one day I will see you again. Love you and miss you very much.

Today is one year from the time you said goodbye to me. This is the second hardest day of my life. I have learn to deal without you by my side the silence when things are going wrong and not having you there to laugh at me or talk to. You are deeply missed and always will be. Hope your giving everyone a hard time up in heaven. I know you are watching down on me and the kids everyday and protecting us. LOVE YOU and miss you so much.

Rest in Peace. I love you and always will.  You will be missed and loved so dearly. No matter how much we argued or disagreed it made our marriage stronger. I know you are now my guardian angel looking down on me and the kids. You can enjoy seeing your beautiful grandson when he finally arrives. You struggled to make it to see the birth well now you can be with him anytime you want and protect him in the toughest times. Enjoy your bowling and hanging out with Joe. Just remember Crissi and Kirsty know you will always be haunting them when they are in tours. So make sure you keep stealing everyone's oranges, getting captains drunk, and especially stealing Hewey's clubs in golf or better yet just throw him in the icy water. Love you and will miss you lots.

This man from the moment I moved to the ChiTown area made me feel like I had family. I had to live for 4 months with no family and he and his wonderful wife took me as part of their family. I am forever known as his second wife. I will always miss this man because he is family to me. Some friends are instant friends and he is one of those instant friends. I love you Craig and will never forget your kindness you showed to me.

Craig aka Rip ... made me smile every time he entered a room. The fact that I never met him "in person" speaks volumes. Someone who could touch so many is amazing. He and Wendy (aka Mouser) shared their personal plight , but they never complained.
I would have never understood the power and significance of humans loving and caring for each other via a game site. But thru the years of being at home most of the time (caring for my dad) ... let me experience the joy of so many people ...whom otherwise I would have never met. Rippy is one who is at the top of my list!
Wendy ... please find solace in knowing that he is making others laugh in Heaven.

drunk captains 'n' caddys

how do i remember rip in my life well its like this, 
rippy has been in my life as far as i can remember all the time i have been at the just jumpers league.  
no matter how much pain i was in that day he would find a way to make me smile. 
when it came down to tour time he was the biggest joker around. if he wasnt getting our caddys drunk and hiding those darn 2's and 10's in golf his biggest carryon was always in 1000 island his favourite thing to play in.  every time we toured in there, there he was getting the captains drunk, stealing our hazard cards and making sure the tour went off as the happiest funniest way each time.
we will in a few weeks have a special tour for rippy in 1000 island to send him off to heaven in our own way so no doubt when this happens we will find agian hes gotten all the captains drunk and hidden those hazard cards, rippy we love and miss you and now you cant get in trouble from us xxx 

Growing up

September 21, 2014
by Steven Benson

Ever since i was 7 dad came into my life. he treated me more as a son then anything and loved me like i was his own. he brought smiles to the family, he took all of the kids under his wings. he support my decision at join the army. no matter how mad us kids made him, he still knew how to make us smile. he was everything we could ever ask for as a father figure and someone that loved us like his own kids. not many people can do that, but he managed and survive. he was struggling day in and day out, i was always trying to be there for him, a week ago i was the only one that he wanted to go outside with. there are alot of memories about dad. and he will always forever be missed. no more pain and suffering dad you are in a better place and you will always be loved.
