Dad....... I have so many fond memories of life growing up, Sing-A-Long with Mitch Miller, Card games with John and I (Knuckles), Sunday board games as a family-Uncle Wiggly, Chutes and ladders and Sorry were our favorites. Holidays at our house and Sunday trips to church and then to Grandmas. Picnics at the beach were a great memory too, You sure did love that cold ocean water. You said it was good for the body!! Later on in life I'd look forward to my birthday phone call with a birthday song sung by you, and that song you always sang---I CAN'T SMILE WITHOUT YOU!! You always had to sing that song wherever you were singing. You were always a thoughtful man, always asking how Cliff and Sam were doing. Always saying a prayer for a family member or friend. Always proud of how well John was doing too. For years, I can remember oil painting and Gold Tones were you greatest pleasures. Dad....You will truly be missed...and like Uncle Non said....You really never know how much you will be missed until you are gone. I Love You and will miss you!! Love Always, Maria
