We miss you today and everyday Dad!! Me and Susie and Lottie spent the day together yesterday, we had some good laughs at memories of you. She told me of a story of when she was young and stepped in the paint that you were using, we laughed at imagining how you probably reacted . Give mommy a hug for me. Savannah talks about you a lot. She misses you greatly ... we love you ! ❤❤
Miss you especially today, Dad! Hope you and Mommy are having a grand time on your first birthday back together :) I love you both very much and miss you every day
Happy 1st heavenly birthday daddy .. Love you and miss you .. I know you and mommy have been around lately, I can tell by how much sharlotte (lottie) smiles ..
To all my cousins, this is Ryan. I am very sorry I did not make contact sooner, I was unaware of Uncle John's passing until talking to Steve just a few minutes ago. Being out of state and somewhat out of mind, I am often the last to hear family news. I messenger'd Uncle John just after hearing about his illness and he told me he was doing OK. I wish I had checked in more often. Your dad was hilarious. I remember on July 4th I was sitting there with my burger plate on my lap and just for a goof, Uncle John threw a lit pack of Black Cats onto my lap! I tumble ass-over-teakettle screaming and next thing you know, mom (Angie) was slapping Unc something stupid!!! Beer going everywhere... Oh man, when I think about that, it still makes me laugh like an idiot. I will always remember Unc John, I hope you are all doing OK.
I'm going to miss you loving smile , and you crazy sense of humor. You will always have a special place in my heart , I'm going to miss you so much . Give my mom a hug for me . Love you Dad .
Johnny...thank you for letting just a choice few of us at USXpress call you Johnny. We all loved you. So many happy memories of our years together that I will never ever forget. You were one of a kind and I will always love you my friend. Love, D (you were the only one in the world that ever call me that and each time you did I felt the love)
Damn. .he did it again. .I was saying. .remember when I raced supercross at San Diego stadium in 1980? I wound up finishing 10th. ..the next day when I couldn't walk, Unc J came up behind me and pushed me down the sidewalk. ..asking if that hurt. ..I was trying to stay on my feet, and I was laughing so hard. .I'll never forget that. .I hurt so bad, but it was so funny. .
Alright unc , last time I do this. .if you all knew what I've had to do to make this happen you'd know your dad is up in heaven, rubbing his hands together, and saying "hahaha. .got Bart again. ." Unc J was in my opinion, legendary. .from '77 thru '83, unc J WAS the spark that memories are made of. .We speak of aunt Loretta as being the glue that kept us together. .that is true. .but Unc J was the spark that made it happen. .anytime my ma or pa said. we were all meetin at Lorettas or Unc's house, we knew it would be a legendary party. .I'd drive the "Phantom "mom's name for the freightliner as fast as the law allowed, while ma n pa drank beer and listened to Willie Nelson. 6hrs was normal, and all i could stand. Even old Clarence had a great time. .Among the best days of my life. .Cuzs. .anytime you wanna take over the baton of the past, let us know. .I'd do it, but none of you know where Idaho is. ..love you all. .Bart
Unc, there are so many good memories tied to you, Sal and my favorite cousins. The Fourths of July as a kid are among the best memories of my entire life. Thank you for the laughs, for making my burger 'walking the field,' for the ILLEGALS...good times I will never forget. The group is complete now and I know my mom was literally over the moon to see My Dear arrive.
Daddy, I love you so much and will always miss you, but this isn't goodbye, I will just see you later!! Give mommy a hug and a kiss for me and party it up in heaven!! I love you always! Love your Loo!!
You are missed so much by all of us, Dad, but it gives us comfort knowing you're back with mommy, who you missed so terribly since the day she died...God willing, we will all see you again someday! We love and miss you.
Daddy, We love you and will miss you forever. We know you are with your true love now.. And reunited with auntie Angie and uncle don and the rest of the loved ones that passed to eternity before you.. The reunion of all time happened when you passed through the gates of heaven... Love you always... Sharon, (your yugs)
