Tributes
Leave a tributeHe was the master of the "pep talk" and I know many, including myself could have used one of those over the last couple of years.
Always the showman and competitor, I miss the way he interacted with his grand kids during any of our "holiday decorating contests" (pumpkin carving, Christmas cookies or Easter eggs). "I will crush you all!" would always garner a laugh and a renewed seriousness to the event.
I miss hearing "Hey Guissep!" which was the customary greeting I received on the phone with him. His many hours on the road traveling for work gave him the time to routinely call family and friends to keep in touch. I know those calls are missed by many!
My Dad worked hard his whole life and I must admit that I am bitter he was taken just as he was crossing the finish line and into retirement. I remind myself that tomorrow is promised to no one and am grateful for the time I had spent with him and that he was my father.
I miss you Dad.
we would have had more time together. I could certainly use some laughter right about now. You were the one that brought that out in me...Even at my worst times...I love and miss you more than you will ever know...Kisses and hugs to You, Coss, Dad, Mom, Jeff and Ulysseys....XXXXXOOOOO

Thinking of you today as I do every day. Sometimes I tell a story and start to laugh to myself because I could hear your response in my head. Sometimes I'll say something to my husband and he'll say, you sound just like your brother Joe. That's not such a bad thing. I miss you Joe and as I get closer to the end of my time on this Earth I would like to believe in what we were taught, that I'll see you again. Love you

No story...Just a line to say how much I have been missing you. I sometimes go to the phone and dial you number....Then it hits me...You are not going to be there. I wait for your phone calls at night while your on the road traveling. Oh what I would give to just hear you sing one more time...Kansas City Here I Come...I miss you big brother.....Not a day goes by that I don't think of you...Oh how I wish I could laugh again the way you made me laugh...Give Dad, Mom and Jeff a big hug and tell them I miss them so....I promised you I would look up at the sky every day and Smile....It's hard but I do it....Just for you...And whisper "Kansas City"
