I love the spread laughter. He always had a smile and a joke.
To my Dad…I miss talking to you, hearing your funny jokes/sense of humor, your loving words and sweet sentiments. What I do not miss is hearing you suffer and in pain. For that, I am thankful; yet, I am left heartbroken knowing that you are gone.💔
To my family, words can not express my appreciation for all that you have/continue to do for Dad. I love you!
Thanks to Corey at Rochester Cremations, I will now be able to have Dad’s memory with me just a touch away. For that, I am grateful.
Butch and I will miss you dearly. You where a very good man. We laughed a lot when we got together. Family gatherings won’t be the same, Love and miss you RIP til we meet again.
So sorry for the loss of Uncle John. I have fond memories of the times we had over the years. I remember his kindness and, of course, his sense of humor. Thinking of you all at this time.
Sad to hear that John had passed. We had a lot of good times back in the day when we all were bowling. I will cherish those memories. Rest In Peace now John. You don’t have to struggle any more. Love you always. KCOB
