    Hey dad, I miss you a lot. I haven’t felt quite like myself without you and it breaks my heart that you were taken from us but I know you’re in a better place now. I will always be grateful for all the things you taught me how to drive and you taught me guitar and I worry about mom a lot more these days. I know she misses you a ton. You were such a great and amazing part of our lives. I’ll always remember how good you were to us. Thank you so much for being my step dad. I love you. Say hi to Jesus for me. Rest in peace my friend.

    My dear friend, I remember when: we used to go to Burger King to get a burger then we would go to McDonald's to get fries then we would go to BigBoy's for a Coke. I remember when: we got our tattoos together. I remember when: we went to get fast food and brought it back just to eat it in your 62 impala with the top down. We had some fun didn't we! Your friend Kenny.

    It is with a sad and heavy heart and with a tear in my eye that I write this. A good friend is hard to find but a true and faithful friend is a blessing from God. Rich was a blessing to me. For 55 years I called him my friend and now I must say good- bye. Your buddy from long ago, Kenny

    Dad...I have no words for the amount of heartache I am going through...each day that passes it becomes more real & it breaks my heart all over again...again & again...I spent so much time with you & I cherished every moment we spent together...I am so greatful for those memories...but im not going to lie...Im angry at the reason you had to leave us...I cant even imagine the void that will fill my life without you in it...I will miss your calls for hours & your love...your infectious full bodied laugh that brought you to tears...the smell of your stetson cologne as you entered the room..but most importantly I am going to just miss YOU...Your imcredible hugs that made me feel nothing but love ♡ I am trying to be strong for Mama Melia...This is killing me so I know what its doing to her...We will watch out for her & take care of her always daddy! I hope we continue to make you proud always! I love you to the sun moon & stars...To infinity & beyond...A piece of my heart & soul left me when you left us...a piece that cant ever be filled :(

    Grandpa,
    My heart has been hurting something fierce the last week since you left this world. You were a bright light in all of our lives. I'll miss your amazing hugs that left me feeling your deep love. Your smell because it brought a sense of security. Your smile because it was impossible not to smile big when you were in the room. You were everything a girl could hope for in a Grandfather and I'll miss you beyond measure.
    I love you right back❤️

    Dad, when I close my eyes I see your face before me. I can hear the timbre of your voice, your infectious laugh, the gleam of your eyes and feel your warm, loving hugs. So, I know you are forever within my heart, living on in spirit.
    Your encouragement helped me to overcome my fears, your love helped my heart to heal and your warm, loving embrace gave me strength. Thank you for that.
    With love always, Patty
