You were always there for me and when I did ballet you were always at the place I was preforming. You mean so much to me and I love you forever. I miss you so much.

My Dad - I love and miss you so much.

My first love, my protector, my staunchest supporter, my best friend. 

And now, my Guardian Angel.  Give mom a huge hug

Love you, Paula

This will forever be my favorite photo of us

I will never stop missing you. You've been such a huge part of my whole life. 35 years of great memories aren't enough. Painting your sidewalks with a paintbrush & water for hours and days...playing in the water in the streets when they would flood all the time... wearing your white tshirt as a nightgown when I had chicken pox because everything I wore itched... listening to country music from morning to night in the kitchen... you'd always wake up before dawn,  read the paper & drink coffee at the kitchen table...sleepovers on the floor in the livingroom... camping, Red Wing, Lanesboro... wind chimes... rainbow bright movies in the basement... cribbage, books & runs, triominos...many, many years of get-togethers in the yard... peanut brittle, homemade ice cream... raspberry-picking... stained glass... garage workshop... love, love and more love. So many memories, I could never name them all. I know you are at peace now with grandma, no longer in pain. But you sure left a huge hole. Thanks for being the best grandpa & GGPA the girls & I could ever ask for. ❤ 

Blessings to you and your family as you celebrate the times spent with your Dad/grandpa! We will miss Uncle Richard!
David Carlson 

He was a dear Uncle and we enjoyed many happy times together and I will miss his laugh! To my cousins: your Dad has a special place in my heart as I know he does in yours. Please lay your hand over your heart and feel only love and happy memories and comfort when you think of him.
