Dearest Dave and family,
I do hope this New  Year  will bring Peace, Prosperity and good health.
Your loved on is always in your heart. He wants you to be happy, remember the happy times and laughter you had with him.  You can talk to him. Look to whatever direction he's in..up or down.
He hears you.
Life doesn't always go our way. With time, patience and God you will through this. Make wonderful new memories n invite him to be with you at these happy times. 

Lovingly,
Karen Baker

Hi there Dad, its me Annie.  We are now well over the 2 year anniversary since you left us and it hurts just as much. I miss you so so much.  I don't think this pain will ever go away.  Today is Ken's birthday.  Give him a hug for me.  You would have been so proud of me, I went to Arizona by myself and spent your 2 year anniversary with Ron & Kris. They took me to Sedona the day before and all I could think of was you and mom and how you enjoyed going out west.  It made me smile. I needed to get away on the 25th, I'm glad I did, because I know I would have gone to the cemetery to sit and cry like I did on your birthday.  I know you wouldn't want me to carry on like that.  I'm trying Dad but its really hard.  Love you Always-your little girl.

It’s been two years Daddio, sometimes it seems like yesterday,
I miss you, thank you for thinking of us all to the last minute, and thank you for your guidance through life, 
I hope you Mom, and Ken are all together and living in happiness with the Lord and all your family and friends in Heaven!

It's very hard to lose a loved one. 
When we are born  God has a plan for all of us. We don't always agree with the plan but we have to accept it.
We have to remember the joys , Happy times and especially to know he really lived a wonderful life.
He got to meet his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Don't feel guilty thinking you could have done more or been there more.
Remember the fun and know he is at peace.

A year ago today I lost my hero, my daddy.   It hurt then and it still hurts today. I know you were ready to go. I know you were in pain. I know you wanted to be with mom, Ken and all those who you missed.  I know you were preparing us for you to go.   Even knowing all of this, it doesn’t make the pain go away. I listened to your last voicemail today for the first time since you’ve been gone and cried. I miss your voice Dad!  I miss you!  Hope you and mom are together forever and are watching over all of us. Thank you for everything you have done for us!  You certainly loved your family.  Love you always and forever. Your Annie XOXO

A year ago today, and it still hurts! 
We miss you Dad, I hope you and Mom are in a happy place, and will be there Till The End Of Time!

Earl or as I better knew you as Duke. It has  been many years since we  last spoke. You were my God Father and we had some fun years ago. I always enjoyed my time we spent together with you Ginny. It is a shame our families drifted apart down through the years. You and Ginny took to alot of neat places. I will always remember you and Ginny.

Lots of prayers for your family. You will  be greatly missed 

Condolences from Matt and Hilah Torres. Keeping your family in our prayers. Always remember the best memories and hold on to them. 

Dad, going through all of your memories. You were such an amazing man! You took very good care of your family, and there was nobody that knew you that didn’t love you and respect you. You were a great role model for more than just your family. You touched many lives. I know you were in pain and missed mom so much and all your other friends and siblings that are gone. Either way you are so missed! I know you were proud of all your kids and I’m sorry for all the ways I have disappointed you. I will always love you and cry when I think of you being gone. Love, your Ronald Donald.

Never met you but, heard a lot about you. Rest In Peace Mr. Pote.🙏🙏. You were truly loved😢

Dad, my heart is broken. You were & will always be my hero.  You took such good care of me for 53 years & I always turned to you for advice, love & support. Thank you!  I know you were hurting & I understand you were ready to be with mom, but it hurts not having my Daddy here with me anymore. I’m glad I made you proud, you told me so often, and I know your love was so strong for me. I will carry that with me forever.  No more pain, you are free. Give Mom, Ken and Megan a kiss for me.  Love always & forever, your little girl, Annie.  XOXO 

Daddio, you were the best roll model, thank you for your guidance and help to travel through life!
Hopefully I have made you and will continue to make you proud.
