Happy Birthday dad. I never imagined how empty part of my heart would be without you in my life. I wish you and mom were still here. Do you hear me talking to you? Give mom a huge hug for me and tell her I’m sorry for being so hard on her. I was just angry at the cancer. I love you both!!

Dad I remember so many happy memories of you , and a few nervous ones. Like asking you for your permission and blessing to marry Teresa.
And lots of happy fun times like our trip to Disneyland in 1990. Thank you for letting me be your "Favorite" son in law , we all enjoyed your since of humor and your dressing up as our own personal Santa.
Love and miss you !

I will miss Uncle Billy's happy, laughing greeting asking me all about how I have been every once in a while and out of the blue. But no matter whether it had been days, weeks or a year since we had spoken, it was like a warm blanket to talk to him. Easy and filled with love. I miss him but love that his voice is distinctive in my mind and heart!

Papa it is still so hard to believe that you are really gone. It is just so hard to find the words to sum up how much you influenced my life. Not to mention all of the wonderful memories that were made over the years. You will live on forever in our hearts and memories we and the kids will always love you and hold the memories close. Till we see you again.

Mom and I are so sad to hear of Bill's passing. She very much enjoyed the time she was able to spend with him and Marlene when they would come to Yuma. I enjoyed visiting with them, as well, when we would come for a visit.
Although we won't be able to attend his celebration of life, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and we are with you in spirit.

Hard to believe you’re gone. I still keep thinking the next time I drive out to my parents house you’ll be there. Miss you grandfather. I will always cherish the time we had.

I love you dad and miss you more than I ever imagined.
