I love you so much grandpa. I wish I could have visited more often after I moved to California. I will cherish every memory we shared, all the laughs and all the great times. I love you more than you love me, hush

Maureen, I want to thank you again for allowing me to visit with you and Walt last year. I am so glad I got to spend a few days with you guys. I pray you will be ok and Walt’s daughter said it correctly you are a very strong woman. That being said even being strong won’t help your loneliness. It will be hard for some time, but time heals broken hearts. You were a wonderful wife to Walt, he was very lucky to have you with him all these years. I am sorry not to be there for his funeral but know I will be there for you if possible in the future. Many prayers going up for both you and Walter Edward. Love, Judy

I remember most of the memories that my sister Donna remembers except for the teaching her to drive a stick and Harley dudes getting the car out but I bet I know why it was before they wanted more chocolate lol! I think probably the best times I ever had was when my kids were little and dad and Maureen would drive up here in there r.v. and we went camping at the lake here in north platte ne. Austin was always rubbing his bald head and dad was always telling him to quit rubbing my head! He still to this day loves to rub anyone’s head hair or not! I will miss his laugh! Donna you left one thing out about being on the boat we did learn that you can steer the boat with your weight when no one felt like driving! Lol I’m really sorry for your loss Maureen and I hope you will be ok which I’m sure you will you are a very strong woman and you have wonderful kids to help you. Rip dad.

Gosh there are little memories here and there that burst into my mind like a movie on fast forward. Disney world on a visit and I got to pick out my stuffed animal. A skunk with a glamorous tail. When you took us to a hotel and Debbie busted her chin open on the diving board and I thought you were going to pass out when they fixed her up while the entire time “I wanted to see”! You weren’t a typical “little girl” dad…we had outings all right, wrestling matches, horse racing and gambling (and learning how to bet), casinos, boating & fishing. And let’s not forget when I ate oysters for the first time and you didn’t tell me not to chew…just to swallow so you felt bad and let me wash it down with my first beer even though I probley should have had lemon aid, lol. Coming home after boating all day and dancing to Wully Bully in the living room. I would dance all over while you stood in one place with your feet but moved every other bone your body while doing it. Driving from Titusville to Daytona Beach in the El Camino…and you would help us get our tans started so we wouldn’t burn on the beach by letting us lay in the lounge chairs…in the back of the El Camino…until we reached Crystal Burger in Daytona. Then there was the Bob Segar days where we played our air guitars, ate chocolate (lots of it) and oh yeah something else…that caused us to eat much more chocolate, lol. And oh how could I forget the visiting garage sales and flea markets! There was the time you taught me how to swim…in the ocean…by throwing me, Deb and Buffy (our family dog) overboard. And then you stood so proud because you “taught” us all how to swim. And the time you taught me how to drive a stick shift by driving down one street in front of your house (one time), in Ohio. And told me yep…yr ready to drive home. (I lived in South Carolina). That was a long drive!!! He always put me in situations that I was scared of but that’s how I gained confidence and became the strong willed lady I am today. (Yes we have some of the same qualities that everyone seems to love). And last but not least, the time we were watching the waves come in, while sitting on the beach, in the car…hmmm, wonder why it got to the point where those Harley Dudes had to pick up the car and move it out of the water so we wouldn’t wash out to sea. There were good times and bad, like any family but I will always regret that I wasn’t there when you took your last breath! Please watch over me till I join you! And one more thing…I love you more!

So many fond memories of our time together…the cruises, the casino visits, the family card games, the dinners at the port, swimming in your backyard pool, watching the OSU/Michigan games, the yearly visits to your beautiful Florida home where we always felt welcome..I will forever cherish those times. Love you always!
