I can’t tell you how much I miss you, but I’m sure you know cause I try and talk to you everyday! Please keep an eye on us as we are all going through some things! I love you and miss you! You were the most amazing Daddy a girl could have ever been given, and I’m so thankful for everything you taught me and helped me accomplish! I hope I do you proud! Love you Dad!!! 

The days come and go and I miss you as much as ever. I do know you are still watching over us. the family will be all together this weekend so there be lot memories discussed ; Love and miss you

Donna

Gosh! It's your birthday -- you're still older than me!! I pray that things are well with you; it's a crazy world here! So on your birthday, just wanted you to know, you ARE forever missed. 

Hey Pops! 9 yrs! I miss you every single day! Thank you for always looking after me. Seems some days I need it more than others! I have a picture in my phone that I look at and smile! It was a selfie with you and Mike. Long long before that was a thing! Who knew. I hope you’re watching over Mom. She needs a little boost right now! Love you, miss you and know your always in my thoughts!!!

Even though the years fly by, you are not forgotten. You were part of so many happy occasions during those years and those memories bring a smile to my face even yet. We all hold those moments near and dear to our hearts and will until we meet again. See you later!

You will always be remembered in the hearts of friends and families. I especially am reminded of you when in the Big Hole valley as we shared so many really special times there. I thank God for these special memories.

Dad, I didn’t forget your birthday, I just decided to take the day and remember you in my heart and mind! I smile and think about you often. There are times when I have been at an hard decision and you always seem to come forth with your wisdom and help guide me to a safe and honest decision. I enjoy those moments because you seem closer than I could ask for! I love you and miss you dearly! Memorial Day always make me think of you and how amazing of a choice you made to serve our country! Love you Daddy!!!

Nine years. At times it seems like yesterday but at others, it seems so long ago. We still think about you and chuckle with memories. This year will be our 60th Class Reunion. We’ve lost more classmates since the last reunion. But you know that. It makes me feel better to know you’re in good company.

Les. I feel bad I missed the date this year it isn't because I don't miss you cause I do terribly. Probably because their has been so much going on. Snowball died but you already knew that she is up their with you. We got a new puppy her name is Lucy. She brought with her alot of joy and Love that Snowball use to. I Love and miss you 

Less, I visited our old hunting haunts this fall and they have changed a lot due mostly from forest fires. One thing remains; however, and that is the memories we shared. Those are permanent.

Dad, or as I’ve always called you was Daddy! Miss you more than anything! Always remember your smile, quick wit and loving side you always showed.
There is not a day that I don’t miss you! As my angel you have proven to always be there for me and directed me the right direction.
I can’t tell you how much I miss you! Love you Daddy! 

I had a friend once say that the measure of a person was how long after they're gone that memories of them still come up in conversation. We have many fond memories fresh in our minds. 

Hey Dad! Miss you more than ever. It’s been a hard year for us. We lost Snowball in June. She was such a blessing and hope she is with you and you two are having fun together! I can’t tell you how I’ve needed you this past year. I know you are with me and keeping me on the right track. I hope you are watching over your grandkids as much as you are for me. I’m sure they appreciate you doing that. Keep us strong as we keep moving forward in this unknown world we are currently in. I love you and miss you with every part of my being! 

Another year has passed. In many ways a dreadful year and in others, a wonderful year of celebration: the celebration of the birth of one grandchild and the engagement of another. I know on those days of celebration, you weren't far from their thoughts because your memory lives on. And that, dear Les, is the mark of a good Grandpa.

Well its been 7 years and you now have 2 great grandchildren. Danny and Tiffany had a baby girl, she is a doll and Logan doesn't think she is too bad also. You would be really proud of how Danny is a good Daddy. Infact Danny & Tiffany are both very mature parents.  Our Ally gets married in June You would also be very proud of her she is grown into a beautiful lady and her husband to be is a great guy also. Ally has done well for herself, finishing college and has a good job. Our Shelby is doing good also. She works in a bank in Douglas. She's as pretty as ever. I miss and Love You Lots. Snowball the number ONE doggie has gone to doggie heaven, Maybe you have seen her racing around there. Love You Donna

Les
   Remember the time we were driving down the highway east of Missoula, on our way fishing with both of our families and one of the kids knocked your glasses off and out the drafty window they flew? We went back and miraculously found them! Wow, what a blessing that was. I thought our chances were nil but I was wrong. Such are the small things in life.

what can I say but I love and miss you. Continue to watch over all of us. Little Logan is going to be a big brother. He apparently is being a  typical two your old.

Les,
   Miss chasing after the walleyes with you and Donna. Spring is always a stark reminder of those times. You have a son who takes up the slack. May get a chance to fish with him this spring. That is if we get out of this virus thing.

It’s me again Dad! Ally is getting ready to do her finals and her boards! We need your steady persistence to guide her! With this darned pandemic it has postponed her testing. She is still that smart kid you always knew. Please give her extra strength so she can do this! Love ya Dad. Keep us in your prayers! Love you.

I looked at the calendar today and saw the date: May 2; it popped into my head that it was your birthday. Happy birthday! We miss you, miss your jokes and miss your laugh. You'd be proud of your family. They're doing well but then again, you taught them well. There will be an addition to your family before very long and the circle of life continues. Thanks be to God 

I miss you so much! Today Rick Wheeler told me how you gave him his nickname Grubby! Dad your sense of humor is so missed. I know you are still watching over all of us! I’m sending Blue to the doctor to get him up and running again! I can’t wait to take him for a cruise through the hills with mom soon! I love ya Dad. Happy Birthday! I miss you! Thank you for all you taught me growing up! I may have tried to ignore it but it actually sunk into this hard head! LOVE you! 

Six years. . . in some ways, it seems just like yesterday. When family gets together, we know you're still with us; you're part of our memories. 

Less, miss you a lot. May God continue to bless your family.

Miss you so much Dad. Please continue to watch over us and know you are always in our thoughts. Thank you for the strength you’ve given me the last couple of days! It’s been an amazing feeling! Love ya! 

Miss you always but believe I gotten stronger with God.

Dad. Can I ask a favor? Ally is going off to Grand Forks next week foe her clinical studies! She is 10 hours away. Will you please look over her and keep me posted when she needs me ? I miss her as much and i miss you! Thanks dad! Love and miss ya bunches!!!

I know this is late Dad but I didn’t forget that the 2nd is your day! I miss you! I miss your knowledge, wisdom, patience and you!!! You were my teacher and my friend and best Dad ever. God has become a very important part of my life and he has helped guide me with a lot of aspects of my life. Mom is still that rock we always have known her to be. She misses you too! We love and miss you every day and I have found that is true that you are my guardian angel as I have felt you with me during some very difficult times! Love ya Dad.

I talked to Bernie yesterday since you and her share a birthday. She was good and said she thought about you and that you and Chuck were having a good laugh together. I think about you all the time not only on your birthday. Love you lots and miss you everyday.

Less, I thank our God and Creator for the faith He has instilled in us through His Son and our Savior Jesus Christ. But then you know all about that now. May your faith be an inspiration to us all.
Terry

It's your birthday. On your day, I think of fishing, hunting, cars, firemen, your jokes, your smile, your laughter. I won't forget.

I really did not miss the 9th I just couldn't write. Now I've adjusted and can do it, Sorry but I know you know why. Love and miss you. Continue to watch over us.

Hey pops! 5 years still seems like yesterday! Ma and I share a lot of laughs and great memories but we still shed tears because losing you hurts just as much today as it did 5 years ago. I miss you with ever piece of my heart. You’d be so proud of little Logan. He is the cutest little queball!! Thank you for being my angel! I know you’re here with me and watch over Ally! I hope you are enjoying all those fishing day and hunting day. Love you!!

I can't believe it's been 5 years but I know Donna feels it every day. Glad you watch over all of them and are enjoying the sounds of your beautiful great grandson. Rest well, Les, he's in good hands.

Five years go by too fast. I visited your favorite spots in the Big Hole Valley in September, Less. Lots of memories come back there. What a blessing I have been given with memories of you and Donna and the great creation God has given us to enjoy.

I'm lighting a candle in honor of your birthday, Les. Yup, just one because 75 of them would burn the house down! Miss your smile and the sound of your laugh but makes me feel better to know that heaven is enjoying them both.

Watch over Danny and Tiffany as they are about to make us Great Grandparents, Its going to be a boy. I know you would be thrilled.

" Miss You everyday" Love You Donna

Less, Miss you a lot. Was in the BigHole for archery season and visited a lot of our favorite hunting spots. Such a great place in the fall and brings back such close memories. Donna, you, Loretta and me. We have some very special memories.

Can't believe four years have passed but I know your family has felt every moment. Still think of you and miss your sense of humor and hearing your laugh. "Time can ease but not erase all the memories we all have made."

Dad, I can't believe it's been 4 years today. Feels just like yesterday that you left. Miss you so very much. I'm so Thankful for all that you taught me. I'm taking car of Ma too. She misses you dearly too. Love You everyday.

Thought of you on the 2nd but missed posting a note. It's also fishing season and can't help but think of you whenever someone mentions Angostura. There were many fishing trips and fishing stories on that lake and you're a big part of all those stories. Thanks for the memories.

Les I not only think of you on your birthday, our anniversary the day you left us. I think of you all the time. I wish you would not have left us but your memory is around me all the time. I love you.

We're starting to plan our 55th class reunion for next year. We miss you but I hope you're too busy to miss us. I get together with our classmates who live around here once a month and we still get a chuckle out of remembering Mr. Broderson's class! I'm sure you do too. If only we could communicate. I would love to hear that you're well and that you see all our friends and family that have gone before. I would love to hear.

"Less", it is hard to believe that it has been 3 years since you left us. I guess that is because the memories you left us are still so real and vivid. Was so good to share so many with you and your family.

Less, you know that you left a fine family behind when you left this world.  If we are measured by the kind and caring people in our families, you have high marks. I think of you often and of the great times we were privileged to have with you and all of your family. We do still miss you.

Miss you Dad! I know you keep track of all of us and I thank you for that. I hope your are having a super birthdya fishing and catching that huge Walleye. I love you Dad. Happy Birthday.

Happy birthday you ol fart! I love you so much, and can't believe it's been 2 1/2 years since you left us. Thankfully you are up in heaven and laughing at us! We are planning our family reunion in a month and all I can think is WHY didn't we do this years ago? I cherish my memories of our softball/baseball games, Grandma's fried chicken, and all the laughter

Incase you don't know it your daughter and son take good care of me. As a matter of fact I have a fantastic family whom do so many things for me everyday and they probably don't even realize it. They are all great; You'd be very happy.

Les I can' believe its been 2 1/2 years. and next month it will be your birthday. A day hardly goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you terribly but that is because I loved you so much, You were the one to hold my hand while I struggle with health problems but sometimes I feel you still hold my hand. Keep it up I still need that. You probably know what your grandkids have been up too, You'd be so proud. Miss You !!!
