My condolences to all the family, but especially Paul, my friend from Rohrbach Elementary, with whom I long ago lost touch. Your dad lived a good, long life, and I hope that otherwise all is well with you and your family.

sue, may your father's memory be a blessing and comfort to you and your family in your time of grief, xo diane
Dear Dad: Your Mom would never say goodbye, except at funerals. She always said so-long. You will always live in my heart. I will miss your exuberance for life, and how you made everything you touched special. I will miss your wisdom and your playfulness. I will miss how you used to wolf whistle at the girls on the beach. I would even give anything to hear you get all the dogs worked up by saying, "There's a grinch!" I will miss your hearty laugh. I will miss how you could make everyone in the room feel loved. I will miss the example you set by respecting ALL people, even those of different faiths. I will miss how you proudly introduced me as the baby of the family. I will miss being able to call you up and say, "Hey, Dad, I need your opinion on something." You would say, "Opinions are free." I will miss having no one to tease about Uncle Albert. I will miss your bear hugs. There will always be an emptiness in my ears whenever the church sings, "Eternal Father, Strong To Save." without your voice in the accord. I remember how much you loved music, and loved to sing. All the neighbors knew it was you mowing the grass because you'd be out there singing.
This year will be the first year I hang a palm branch over your picture on Palm Sunday. I remember asking your mother why she put palm branches over certain photos, and was deeply saddened when she told me why. Now it my turn to remember you in the heritage of your parents, and pray that you will enjoy your new life with the Risen Lord.
Even though you are gone from this life, I will always be my Daddy's Baby. I love you, Dad.
Even now, I can not bring myself to say goodbye, only, Anchors Aweigh until we meet again one day.
Kay (Schoffstall) Poliska
