Grandpa, it’s been 7 years since you’ve passed and there’s not one day you aren’t thought of or missed dearly. I now have your fire hat and Jesus statue in my room, I’m so proud of it. I hope you are watching over us, I hope we’ve made you so proud. I wish you could see all of us now, however something in me tells me you do. I pray for your guidance and strength during a very difficult time in our life right now. The more I grow up and the more I learn about you I am so proud to call you my Grandfather. Kiss grandma for me, and please send me a sign. I love you..

Dear Grandpa, Its been almost 3 months since you passed and not a day goes by where I don't think of you. I miss you so much, but I know you are at peace and with Grandma. You were truly a great man and inspiration to us all. I will cherish all of our memories and the experience having the honor to be with you when God called you home. I promise I will continue to make you proud. Please continue watching over us. We love you and miss you dearly. Love Always, Lene

Dear Daddy, You were a loving father, husband and son. You showed us all your goodness and strength. You taught us through your love and example how to be a good person. You lived your life with truth, honor and dignity. May you find peace in the arms of God and with your love, Mommy. Lovingly, Your 1st & Only Daughter, Mary Ellen

To my godfather and uncle whom I have missed seeing for many years now "Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand." I used to love singing for you as a child ... Give me a lil kiss, will ya huh? I look forward to the day when I am able to grace that smiling face to sing it all over again ... and to all my family up in NY, wish I was able to be there during this time. I love and miss you all as well!

Bill was a delightful man, always with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. We will always think of him as a devoted family man and fireman, and as one of the biggest fans of Bonanza and Gun Smoke we've ever met. We will miss him but know he is at peace and is no longer suffering. Glad we had the pleasure to know him. Sincerest condolences to his family. Pam and Bob Martin
