I've known and loved Sharon for many many years. When you came into her life I instantly loved you too. We never got to fish in that backyard pond you used to be so proud of. ❤️ Dan only got to meet you one time and he fell in love with you. You were a wonderful husband, father and friend. You will be missed.

Vince was my best friend. We talked together and many fishing trips and fishing stories. He was like family and his children were my children. I will miss him deeply with his on the go and energetic life. Hurting is part of when someone close to you leaves but I will always have so many memories with him and his family. We will be together soon in our final resting place in Heaven. We talked many times about Jesus Christ and both of of us decided to follow Him. See you soon my brother in Christ. Your friend, Chris.
