Dad,
I miss you everyday. On your birthday we all sent a balloon up to help you celebrate your 81st birthday. Mine was a turtle and donna's was a heart. Ours took the longest to reach you, but you know what they say the best for last. Love you hugs and kisses
Well Grandpa, here’s to hoping this finally works…
I don’t think I can put into words the impact that you have had on my life. You always showed us that life wasn’t about the things that you have but the people that you surround yourself with.
You always believed in me. One of the last things that you told me was that I look good, like I can take care of myself, I don’t need anyone. I wonder if this was your way of saying that I would be alright with you?
I’m going to miss just chatting and laughing with you. Going to the beach was always something to look forward to because I knew I was going to get to spend time with you and Grandma. I’m so thankful for all the time that I have gotten to spend with you, and that you could be a part of Kaylin’s life. She adored you and I know that she will never forget you and will hold you in her heart forever, just like I will. You are, by far, one of the best men that I will ever know. I hope that I can continue to make you proud of the woman that I am.
Next time I see you we will have a ‘beer’ together, only this time, it’s on me. Love and miss you always.
Miss you Dad!
So Sorry,
My Uncle Passed away the other day, it left me deeply saddened.
I knew him as a man that truly loved family and life! He had a childlike love of life, with a great outlook and whenever I saw him he was always smiling. I will miss him.
I remember going to Hersey Park riding in his big Oldsmobile. He loved talking about the Willy’s jeep he had, going camping and fishing.
I will also miss the family stories he, my Dad, and the family would tell. Like Uncle Roger going through a dozen eggs to give Uncle Pap a sunny side up egg. I will miss the ribbing that would go back and forth with Uncle Bob, Uncle Roger, and my Dad with Uncle Pap. All the stuffed animals he would win and give away to the kids. I remember when I was little and he made me a Batman pillow made out of leather from the furniture place he worked at.
I will miss him a lot, but the memories will last me a lifetime and those are cherished memories. I know that he truly touched me and my family, and we will always remember him, smiling!
Love Joe.
Eliza and family,
My deepest sympathies for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dearest Donna and family,
Our deepest sympathies for your loss. We were recently looking at pictures of your Dad and remembering how he made everyone feel important and welcome. We know you are all feeling a tremendous loss and we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love Diane and Frankie Zammetti
Eliza and family, So sorry hear of Paps passing. He was such a sweet man. I remember every time he would come for a haircut he would fall asleep in the chair, I told him I needed to put a seat belt on the chair just for him. Eliza and I would just laugh. I didn't get to see him after he moved to DE. but thought about him alot. My thoughts and prayer go out to Eliza and the family.
Grandpa it is hard to say "goodbye" and no longer get to say "see you later". So many things you have taught my mom (and dad), Aunt Deb, Uncle Bernie that I feel were passed onto me. Unfortunately your handyman and mechanical abilities where not one of those! I hope that I can continue the virtues of being a husband, father and brother (and one day grandfather) that you passed down. If I can do that alone, I know I can make you proud.
You used to always say you were proud that I got to go to college and was intelligent. I never got you to understand or tell you in the right way but grandpa you were just as intelligent, if not more, than I am, just in different ways :)
I will miss seeing you and asking for advice on how to fix something or bending over backwards to lend a hand when needed. Will also miss when I come to see mom/dad in Lewes and I am making some seafood dish and you wonder if there will be hot dogs because "a few hotdogs are all you needed.”
I will never forget you and what you taught me.
Your legacy will continue in your sons/daughters, grandson/granddaughters, great grandsons/great granddaughters etc.
Dear Dad
I miss you every day. You were the best dad a girl could ever have. Our family was so blessed to have you in our lives. Even in my adult life I still counted on you for help and guidance. Thank you for always being there for me. I love you so much. Nothing I can say can express the loss I feel. You were my number one man in my life. Will miss your hugs and kisses.
Love you
Debbie (dippy egg)
