Love your daughter
Cindy
It's been 11 years today since you left us to be on that boat. The past 11 years has been so full of its ups and downs and i wish you were here to experience it us. I love and miss you so much. The kids are getting so big! Alison and Chase are both is high-school now. Alison talks about you all the time and shares the beautiful memories she has of you.
I know you are watching over all of us. I often wonder what life would be like if you were still here. I think you'd be pretty proud of all of us. Especially the great grand kids that you loved and adored so much.
I hope you hear me talking to you, Ryan, and Billy everytime im fishin. To be honest, I think I love doing it so much because it makes me feel like I'm closer to you guys. The first thing I say is " Papa, Ryan, uncle Billy, I know you guys are with me, so lets do this, lets catch a Big one today!" And when I do, I say " papa, this ones for you". I can't wait for the day that we are all on that boat together, making awesome memories and catching the big cahoona's. Till then, rest easy because when it's my turn, I am giving you all a run for your money .
Give uncle Billy and JoJo big hugs for me. I miss you three so much and love you even more. Tell Billy to keep visiting me in my dreams, I love our talks and it makes me sad when I wake up and realize it was just a dream. I wish you would visit me in my dreams too.
Love you forever and always
Jenn
I don't know the answer to all these questions but it makes me feel like I'm talking to you. Something else I miss.
I love you Dad and miss you more. Give the the Boys my love and Aunt Joan and everybody
Its been 10 years already and yet it seems like a lifetime.
The whole world has gone crazy Dad. Every one is in more or less lockdown status. I have never seen anything like this. Curfews for all and all is sick.
Its Thanksgiving Day Dad and I can't even go home to see Mom. Its not safe for her or me. Not much to be thankful for there.
What I am thankful for is having parents like you both and having such a close and loving family. Pappa and Nanna and Granny and Grandpa would be proud of all of us.
I'm jealous cause you are with them and Ryan and Billy and Joan too. Are you guys having you own Thanksgiving in Heaven? I bet its a real feist.
Well I just finished the Mac cheese so tell Granny I'm thinking about her.
Poor Mom is not even having Thanksgiving because of the stupid Pandemic. I only hope I can be able to see her soon. This is a first for her with any family around and good food. She is pretty sad too. Could you have Jesus put his arms around her for a few and let her know thing will all be OK Dad. ?
I love and miss you so much it still hurts.
See you again someday Dad.
Happy Thanksgiving Dad and Thank you for giving me all that you have.
As you already know, it's been going on 10 years since you left us. That seems like a lifetime ago. I feel so blessed to have gotten to spend most of the last couple of years caring for you allowing us to become even closer than with Sissy and the boys.
And now its Billy's turn. I just know he is with you and Ryan. I know you are all together. And I know you are all three watching out for the rest of us.
Things have not even been the same as when you were here. I miss all the holidays we used fo have. The holidays now have become quite dreadful.
There is one positive thing that has happened. My other Brother Billy. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about. He is alot like us. Especially since he was not raised around us. It is in the genes....lol...You will get to meet him some day and see us again some day.
That day cant come soon enough. I miss all of you so much it hurts. Until that day just know how much I love you guys All three of you.And not a day goes by that I dont think of you guys. Dad give Joe Joe a big kiss and hug from Mom And My Brother a big kiss and hug and one for you too.
Love, love and miss you.
Cindy

Love always, your baby girl
I was and always will be his baby girl.
Any time i was feeling sad or upset about anything, all i would have to do is
look at my dad and i would instantly have a smile on my face. he always cheered me up.
he had a heart of gold and a smile that was unforgetable.
we had some awsome times together and im going to miss him so bad.
i miss wakeing up in the morning and seeing him watching cartoons with the grand kids.
he loved his grand kids and great grand kids so much , his family was his whole world
thats what he lived for. he was their for everyone, friends and family everyone.
its going to be hard livin without him. he will always be in my heart and deaply missed.
I love you daddy forever and always.
love always, your baby girl
~ God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God...... broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
This man was my grandfather. And he was great at it. I
have so many fond memories of him; these are called the good ones. And I have a lot of good ones. There are too many too talk about right now, so I will some it up to some of my favorite good ones.
Like when I went and stayed the summer with him and Nan in las Vegas. I was sleeping on the couch that summer. Well I was tell papa showed up after two or three days gone, he said he was fishing with friends at lake mead and he lost his wallet and pay check over the edge of the boat…. Well needless to say papa was at casino, and Nan was pissed... So I gave up the couch and slept on the floor next to couch, and papa and I watch hunting and discovery channel all night for like two weeks.
Another good one I have of papa was fishing. He really loved to fish. All kinds. Mainly cat fish. The last trip I went on with papa was after Grandpa Billy john passed. We had a great day at the lake on grandpa’s boat. We didn’t catch a lot of fish, but we hung out on the boat what seemed like all day. The fun part of that day was when papa tried to pull the boat into the trailer. Let’s just say he didn’t go in straight. After a few laughs and a couple tries, we ended up with a bent trailer and damaged pride. Papa shore was frustrated. But we laughed like hell after words.
The last good one I am gunna talk about, and this one is a good one. I will carry on with me tell the day I die. This last thanksgiving. As we all know papa was battling cancer. He has been sick for a while now. And for the friends and family that were there, you wouldn’t have even known it. Papa had put his game face on and a spring in his step. That day he was laughing, visiting and teaching me a thing or two on how to play a saxophone. Papa kept on talking about how happy he was about how many great grand children there were at the house. He was very proud of his grand kids and great grand kids in fact, that day he pulled a couple of us out side and told us how much he loved us and that he was very proud of us he was. As if he knew that he needed to tell us that it was going to be alright, that he was going to be there for us no matter what. Papa had cared so much about us that he was trying to prepare us for what was happening the very next day. This is who papa was.
In short, it is not just the goods ones, but the good ones we loose. And papa was one of the good ones. He really was

Not until this year had I ever felt
“The true meaning of Christmas…”
Decorate this house to the fullest!
Celebrate family with the Love you All deserve!
For the happiest days I lived have been the ones spent with you…
I may not be here in the flesh,
You may not see me as you use to
But feel my presence as you think of me
Feel my love, as I fill your heart with Love
And in those instances when you have doubt
When worldly happenings surround you
Count on my spirit being with you always
For the Spirit of Christmas I have found!
Love each other unconditionally
And take comfort in these words
Don’t think I left without you
I just left ahead of you,
And until we meet again, BELIEVE!
I LOVE YOU ALL!
Leave a Tribute
Love your daughter

Papa
Frank will always and has always been known to me as Papa. I promised him a couple weeks ago that I would marry his grandson, Justin and I would take care of his two boys, his son Justin and papa's favorite boy Chase. He has always treated me like a grand daughter and as far and I know, he will always be my Papa. He was a great man and wonderful person to be around, whether it was just sitting there and talking to him about when he was younger or he was messing with me, making jokes he knew would gross me out, but he knew it would make me laugh. I have so many great memories of him, most of them are me laughing as Nan would chase Chase around the house and then go to Papa to save him. We will all miss him so much. Our only regret, was the night he passed, justin went to show him my wedding ring we had picked up and that was when we found out he had passed. The day before he had been so happy and filled with joy because of how all of his family and friends had come to see him. None of us could ever forget Papa, he was the one and only and he would always no matter what give you a hug and kiss and tell you he loved you. I wrote the obituary for Nan the night he passed, and made this site for her the next day just to express my love for him, from Chase, "his boy" who can't exactly type, and Justin, his son, who knew no one else but Papa as his father, and from me "the one too many damn A names in the house". lol. Alyssa, his soon to be grandaughter. There is so much to say, but all I can say from us is, we love you Papa, and you will be severely missed and thought of daily. I told Chase you were now fishing with your Daddy and that you would always be looking out for us, like I know you will be. And that you were in the sun, so every time he saw the sunlight and felt that warm sun on him, that was you giving him your love. we love you always and forever.
