Dad - I have been blessed to have you as my father. You were always there when I needed someone to talk to and guide me with a gentle hand. I have so many good memories with you. You passed on the sparkle in your eye to William and when I see it I think of you. I love you dad you will always be in my heart. Love, Cathy (tink)

Dad -- I call you that because you were a great example of a true father to me, when my family was troublesome. It's hard for me to believe that you have passed away. I believe that your spirit is always with us, and you are not gone forever. I love your family, and I love you. You have had a great influence on me, and have always welcomed me. I love you. You will certainly be missed. I'm so glad your life was in this world. Love, Deb

Marsh brought out the best in people around him. His caring, kindness and concern was always evident. He always made everyone feel welcome. I will always remember the sparkle in his eyes.

Hi Marsh,
It's funny how we write these as if you have something in heaven that allows you to read these posts. Everyone knows the internet doesn't reach that far.

I wanted to hear your laugh at that just now. Your sense of humor always made me laugh. I am hoping that what happens when I type here, you are actually sitting next to me as I type, saying something encouraging and happy I stopped by. One of my favorite memories was of when you and I went shopping for a tackle box for my flute repair supplies, and me imagining how it might have felt for you, getting a tackle box for your daughter-in-law. Weird, cool, different? I miss you Marsh. Love, Deb

Hi Dad,
Thinking of you the past few days, quick to share an anecdote with my co-workers of what a great dad and father you were. Every time I see a canoe I instantly think of you. All of us children and grandchildren were blessed to have you guide us and lead by example.
Love, Rick

Fun Memories

May 7
by Jon Cornell
Hi Dad,
Was thinking back to all the wonderful things you did and thought about these three. Making a homemade certificate for me when I struck out the side in a little league game. You and Bumpa taking me to Yankee Stadium for my first game. You buying soda cans for our Lincoln Jr High basketball team to celebrate in the locker room after we won the championship . Love you Dad 

special memories of dad

I saw a cardinal today and thought of how dad enjoyed watching and listening to the birds. At Pine Lake we went on a canoe trip in the early morning and just enjoyed the sounds of the lake. From the birds flying above, critters on the shore, fish jumping it was so peaceful. Until I started talking about the things that I saw just in case he didn't see them :) I'm so grateful to have those special memories. Thank you dad.
