Dad - It's been 4 long years since you left us. It still hurts as if it was yesterday. I miss you so much, the talks we had, you asking how George was doing, etc. I even miss the two of us chopping wood together. I learned so much from you over the years. I still find myself wanting to call you and ask for advice on something I know that you know. You were the greatest man I've ever known, and will always know. No one will ever be as smart as you. Hope you and Ma are getting along in heaven and are enjoying each other. You both will be sorely missed for as long I'm alive. One of these days we will see each other again, until then.......
I LOVE YOU BOTH!!!!!

Dad-As being the oldest daughter I was always trying to help you whenever a certain someone would ruin the machinery. I thought you were the smartest person there ever was. I will miss the times we sat outside and talked about whatever was on your mind. I know that you are at peace now, and without pain. I don't blame you for not wanting doctors to poke and prod, and you were tired of being on this messed up planet. I regret not being with you the last few minutes you were alive. But now you are with Jerri and watching the rest of us. I will see you one of these days. Just know that I am constantly thinking of you, and we will keep an eye on Ma for you. Love always, your oldest daughter and son-inlaw.

Dad,
I will miss our little "remember whens...", our time looking and rummaging through the barns and the memories there, the times spent in the fields and the woods, our debates about the gas prices "what is the .9?) the love you showed for the "gran-animals",and watching and naming the birds at the bird feeders. Love you and will miss you so much, I know I will see you again.....

Grandpa, Thank you for all of the wonderful memories you have given me. There is a special place in my heart that I hold dear...the walks in the woods when I was just a child. Showing me your collections of chain saws, guns, and knives are all memories of the life you lived, and I am thankful for the times we shared together. You have brightened my family's life with your love and we will miss you. Love Ray, Cheryl, and from your great grandaughter... I love you grandpa, and I really miss you, say hi to Zeus for me Love Genesis.

My wifes father. My friend.
Always a word to remind you how nice the weather was or was not, total coverage on what was happening on farms throughout the county ,and when it was time to plow and plant . What chain saw was best for dropping a tree ,and which one to use to trim it. When it was time for ducks on the pond . And a friend to dogs.
He was in many ways a Man for all Seasons . He will always be rememberd.

i feel for those who did not know the father i came so close to know,
he shared his stories,his laughs and grief and of the pain that he felt,that was all to real.
then one day as he took my hand,i turned to him as he said,dont leave me alone,i looked at this man and knew that soon my dad would leave me here to mourn as we all do.
he wanted,needed a place to go no more pain or tears to show.his memory intact for all that remained here.
he left for a place of peace he was so tired here.i know one day i will see him again,until then i will hold dear the times we had ,and his way of showing the love he had.
i love you dad,
julie

Dear Mrs. Warren & Family,
We have such fond memories of you all as we grew up as your neighbors. I pray you will have peace as you prepare for a journey without your husband and dad. Recall those precious times you had together as family then look to God as He will provide His comfort and care in the days ahead. With much love & hugs.....Jean & Family
