We had a wonderful time when we stayed at your home and so glad we got to meet you. We know you are at peace & no longer suffering.

July 25, 2007My Dad was the rock in my life and I miss him terribly. He was a very good Father and provider for my Mom and I. He worked very hard and long hours at his own business to provide for us and so my Mom did not have to work. I admired his dedication and strong work ethics which I learned from.
I have many cherished memories of my childhood and family camping trips with my parents, grandparents, Aunt Jo and Uncle Bill and cousins Linda, Debbie and Greg, boy the fun we had!
Although we would tease Dad about bringing out his level when he was getting ready to do a project, I knew as he had taught me, if you're going to do something you need to get it right the first time.
I am glad I was able to spend some time with him in his last few months and still enjoyed listening to the stories he had to tell about growing up in Lompoc and tales of his time in Korea-darn we should have taped those-right Terry?
Dad I know you are at peace now and with Mom. I am happy you are no longer suffering and can enjoy watching over us all.
I Love you Dad, always and forever.
KarenP.S. When it's beer 30 I'll be saying "This Bud's for you Dad!"

July 20, 2007You all know how close I was to my Grampa... I miss you so much Grampa. I have such fond memories of growing up with you, and how you were such a strong presence in my life for all these years. You instilled some strong morals and ethics in me, I hope you're proud. I am of you.
I'll knock down a Bud every now and then for you when I go to fish the Arkansas in memory of the great times we had while you were here in Colorado. It sure is a beautiful place isn't it? I know you loved it here, so I'll continue to enjoy it for you.
And don't you worry - Brecken will always know who Big Grampa was and what he stood for.
Love you Buddy,
Jason

July 17, 2007Jim - You will be missed. Although you were a part of our lives for a short time, you have made a lasting impression. Where you are now - there is not any illness or pain. God would not allow that. Here's to another angel looking down on us - Love always.
