Another big Item in my life is when they helped me buy our first house by telling the banker we had put down a decent down payment which at that time we did not have 200 dollars. I also remember all the loving Care they gave our children in the years we where in Mass. The time he visited us at all our different assignments, he always was very interested In all my Projects. I will miss him greatly. He was a Father to me and I will never forget him.
Love You Dad,
Roland

I'll miss his smile and even though he's not here any longer he'll still be with us as mom is always been with me. He was not a rich man but he could make us feel like a millionaire with his kind words and great sense of humor. I think he would have enjoyed this day and had a good laugh with us. I'm sure he's a happy man today being with Mom.

Fondest Memory:I'll always remember dad for the great family man that he was, he loved family get togethers and loved to laugh and have a good time. He also loved watching sports especially the Red Sox. I'm sure he's still cheering for them as they are playing in the American league playoffs.
Dad also loved to help us with homework when we were in grammar school especially with math (arithmetic in those days). He was always willing to help others, in his later years in Florida with Betty, he helped other neighbors who couldn't get around to go to the store or church etc., that's just the way he was. We'll always remember you dad for the great person you were to all of us! I love you & miss you very much.

Fondest Memory:(I remember) His love for his family. He traveled for many years to each of his children and step children just so he could share his life with us all. He did so very much with the little that he had.
Our love for sports and we where both big time fans of all sports. But we had some big disagreements on this subject. That I'm really going to miss.
I will remember most that dad lived a full life right to the final minute. I wish I could follow in his footsteps.
Dad, I Love You
