I miss my dad. We all do. This has been a great way to share his life and cherish each memory.

Leave a TRIBUTE below (a few personal words, about dad...or for mom and us kids)

OR...if you would like to add more content, please consider sharing your memory about dad in STORIES. It is something we would all cherish.

Start by clicking on HIS LIFE. View the pictures by clicking on GALLERY and then SLIDESHOW (or one by one to view/add a specific memory).

The songs playing in the background are some of dad's favorites, with the exception of one song, Wind Beneath My Wings, which is my song to dad.

Browsing through the pictures today. Saw the one of the condo in Phoenix with the picture of Pinnacle Peak on the wall. Have completed the unfinished business mentioned in the previous tribute. His ashes were spread at Cave Creek Golf Club. Judy, Ryan and I then hiked up Pinnacle Peak and spread the rest of his ashes. I too miss him. I'm not much of a drinker but I think that today I may have a rye and water in his memory. He will always be in my heart.

What a wonderful tribute to a a father, husband and grandfather. I didn't know Laurie as well as I would have liked, but what I knew about him, he was a man that loved his family very much and cared deeply for Viviane who is my very special friend. His memory will live within our lives through Viviane, as we reminisce of days past. My thoughts will be with his family always.

Our greeting shaking hands. He'd say,"Salaam Alaikum." An Arabic greeting translated as "peace be with you." I'd say, "Ram-a-lang-a-ding-dong." A Lou greeting translated as "I'm glad you are part of my life." We still have unfinished business. I miss him dearly.

We did not have the pleasure of meeting Laurie until we purchased our unit in Phoenix. Remembering the card game "Helen" which were played many time times, strickly by the rules. Just like the golf game play the ball as it lies, was his trait. Wealso remember the happy hours together on our Hawai cruse. We will always remember him as a very dear friend,

How can you forget someone who had such passion for life? He was such an awesome brother in law!! His memory will remain forever in our hearts & mind.

Missing you on your birthday dad.

Today would have been such a special day 
But now it brings sadness and sorrow,
If we could just share one more day
If there could be one more tomorrow.

But birthdays are a time of reflection
To look over a year that has passed,
And I can't believe another years gone by
The time, it goes so fast.

But memories of more happier times
Are in my heart to stay,
I'll treasure each and every one
Till we meet again some day.

So I'll say goodbye for now
And blow a kiss to heaven above,
To wish you a happy birthday dad
And send you my all love.

Thinking of you today and always.

You are forever in my heart.
                                    

Birthday Greetings

Today would be dad's 84th birthday.  I can hear him say  "well, I only got another 16 years left!"  Sure do wish that was true!

I really miss him, his wisdom, his humour and his love.

Always in my thoughts and heart.

 

 

He Is Gone But He Will Never Be Forgotten

July 28, 2013

In loving memory of our dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.

Sad and sudden was the call
So dearly loved by one and all
His memory is as sweet today
As in the hour he passed away
  
Loved beyond words
Missed beyond measure


Viviane and families
