Dear Dad II,
Thank you for all the wonderful times spent camping, celebrating birthdays and holidays, and great card games. 
You loved your family so much and they will hold you in their hearts forever.  God bless you, Kathy

Thank you, Dad, for loving our Mom.
Love, Skip

John will be greatly missed and will live on in our memories as a bright and lively light. Our Monday dive buddy (who ran circles around us "youngsters") became our friend and then our family.  
We think John was one of the best humans ever invented and he thrived under the care and love (and tolerance :) ) of Dee. Our hearts are with you all at this time.
