I missed hugging you on your 92nd birthday!!! I am sure Jonathan and Nana gave you a number of them!!! I love and miss you every day and I know you are all together which makes it easier!!!
It’s been three years today that you left us... we were all devastated but this year you are with mom and Jonathan... no sad tears just happy tears that you are all together... love and miss all of you
Miss my dad (and mom)every day. Sure could use one of dad's big bear hugs! Miss talking to them about their great grandchildren and just sharing thoughts. I think about them every day but I know they are together now and safe.
He was a father figure to many of his wrestlers as well as being the best coach Pennsville ever had. He taught us discipline and respect and we have a bond that can never be broken because of him. He is greatly missed and always will be.
My dad was an extremely caring, humble man. I will post more later in time when my memories of his last few days fades from my mind and heart. This is still too painful.
I have set this up for the best man I have ever known. He was my Dad, my mentor and my role model. Please leave a favorite memory of him so we can all enjoy and celebrate his life!!!!!!!
