Hey Pop. I miss you every day. And it seems like yesterday instead of 11 years. I think of all the things you taught me and I remember many things from my childhood in PA. But now My heart is broken again as We get ready to say our final goodbyes to Joe. I know you would have been so proud of the man he was and how he raised his 3 boys. They are wonderful men and were there for Joe. They will miss him as I miss you. Give him and Mom a hug from me please. Love you Pop!

Well Dad, here we are at 11 years now and you are still on my mind. Often thinking about how my life was shaped by yours. The good things from my childhood are memories I share. In just a few days, we will commit Joe's remains to the Lord. He suffered with that throat cancer but was brave till the end. Rest in peace both of you.

Even after ten years, I still mention your name regularly. Recalling things you said or did and what I learned from you. Wish we could talk for a few moments.

Hey Pop. Well its your birthday again and I miss being able to see you. I do still talk to to you and visit your gravesite. This morning a bright Red Cardinal was waiting for me. I felt like it was you and Mom and Andy saying Hello. Love and miss you, Rhonda

Wow another year has gone by Jake since you left this world. Glad to see your still remembered. So many pass and are forgotten . So this day I say " Hello and may you rest in peace" . So many family members of mine have gone on also, so I know the feeling of being missed because I miss them each day and go to the garden of the stones. It is so peaceful there RIP Mr.Jake, as I knew you as,water melon guy!

Love you Pop. I miss you everyday. When I am doing something, I know you taught me how to do that. Tears still flow when it comes to this day in my life. You were my rock for so many years. So many things I wish we could have done or that I could have done for you. Thank you for being the kind man you were and for loving me unconditionally. All my love. Your daughter, Rhonda

Happy Birthday Pop in Heaven. Cant believe you would be 89 today? I love you and miss you everyday

This was a sad day for me in this life and yet I believe it is a day of new beginnings. You have now completed 5 years in that new state. Wish I could just get a glimpse of where you are!

Good Morning Pop. I sure do miss you. There is so much that I would love to talk to you about. Miss our days of just talking and always cleaning up something. I will visit you today and tell you I love you but wish I could tell you in person. You know I love you Pop.

Hey Jake,It's just Kay again. My how the years go by when some one leaves you. It is so great to see that your kids still take the time to remember your birthday even though it is in Heaven Your sourouned by God's throne and that can't be any better ! So my friend today we remember you and thank God for your 83 years he gave you. RIP

So today is your birthday. Given the fact that we are eternal beings, I guess you will never quit having one. My hope is that we never forget to celebrate it with you. Miss giving you a call but you are in our thoughts. Oh yea, the Cubs Finally won the World Series and it was Madden who guided them through. I know how you loved baseball.

Hey Pop, I see that Charles gave you the news about the game. He is right you would have loved it. But you already knew I guess. I sure do love you and miss you. Think about you everyday in one way or another. So many times I think if Pop was here I could ask him how he would do this . I miss you and love you.

Hey dad, Missing you today. Hope I can teach others to take care of themselves the way you did for me. I know I wish you had more time with the rest of the boys, but that is done with now and I know that they all think of you too.

Happy Birthday Jake,I was young when you were in Pa with your family but old enough to watch your children some times. Always remember the "watermelon" runs you would make down south an brought many tasty ones here to Pa. You and your family were good neighbors to my mom and dad. RIP may your family see you again when the circle will then be complete.

Happy Birthday Pop. I sure do miss you. So may things that I still needed to learn from you, but then I realize that I can't even begin to know all that you taught me. All the time I will be doing something and someone will ask me how did you learn to do that? My response is 99% of the time" My Pop". Love you and miss you everyday.

You know dad it's hard to believe it's been three years since you left us behind. I'm constantly aware of the good things you put into my life. I know there were hundreds thousands that were touched by your good giving. I'll stop by and visit next time I'm in town.

Today is 3 years since my you passed. I miss you every day. I will visit you later today and reminisce of the times we spent together and how much you taught me. I love you Pop and miss you.
Your Hon.

Hey Pop. Happy Birthday!!! I sure do miss you. Wish I could just call you like we used to do. Today I would have taken you to Chedders for catfish or to our favorite Liver place. My heart still breaks as I miss you so. Your daughter, or as you called me "Hon"

Looks like I'm the first one here today. I wish Dad was here to tell him happy birthday I didn't always remember to call when I could have. He'd say that was alright. I do miss him. He was my father and the hardest working man I knew. Luv u dad. Curtiss

Today as I prepare for my trip to Ireland, I reflect on coming home from my last trip to only having one week left with you. I miss you so much. Love you Pop!

Hey Pop. It has been 2 years and I miss you so much. Just being able to talk to you on the phone and hear you say, "Just checking in Hon." I love you and miss you. Your daughter, Rhonda

To the man that taught me what life was all about. He had a big heart and the patience of a saint. If you were fortunate enough to know him, you were blessed, as was I to be his daughter.

So many things about him I see in me. So much of how I learn I got from him. He never ran away from a challenge. And in spite of the tough things in life that he faced,he always seemed to have those less fortunate than him in mind.
