To Peggy And Brian Lawrence, Shiloh and Castiel- I send you lots of love and special hugs along with my deepest sympathies. I know your loved one adored your family as I do. As I read memories I can tell Castiel has some of the same wit and love for life. That's a wonderful legacy.

So sorry to learn of Pudgie's passing. We have many memories of great times together with our two families. He and my brother, Ron, could always find mischief to get into. Our sympathy to his family and friends.

The man who never grew up
I gave him the name of "Unkie", He was the apple of my eye and my moms baby brother whom she named Pudgie .He was the best Uncle a girl could have. He had a very kind heart and was always there for me, He was the kind of man who would give the shirt off his back if you needed help , His love for cars rubbed off on me, I loved going to the race track with him and Aunt Sharon as a child, There is something to say about getting in a car and starting that roaring engine. Unkie loved sweets, chocolate chip cookies and Brownies were his favorite as well as his favorite drink Pepsi . My Grandmother was an excellant seamstress and that is where he inherited his talent for sewing as he made it his passion and trade of work. When the Doctor's office I work at needed their exam tables and stools re upholstered, I just knew he would be the man for that job. Now more than ever, when I go to work everyday I can look at them as every patient sits on them and remember his talent.
My mom always referred to me as his first child, since he helped her get through her pregnancy and take care of me. everyone he knew he gave a nick name to, mine was "Tamer Jammer" he lived in Charleston with my parents when my Dad was in the Air Force at the young age of 16.
He made family get togethers fun with all his witty comments and was always getting a laugh out of everyone. He will be greatly missed by all.

There comes a time in everyone's life that we either know someone for a very long time, or hardly at all. Pudge, I only knew you for a short while but you made me like everyone you touch feel like family. Your wit, sense of humor, and kindness was contageous. We hate to see you go, but know you couldn't stay. We take comfort in knowing that the Lord has prepared a place in His house for you, and now you are with Him. Keep on cruising....keep a light on for us.

Miss you Unkie!!
Love Tina Ellen and Larry Fish

Family isn't always blood. I had the pleasure of being part of his family for 20+ years. He will definitely be missed by many, but he won't be forgotten. XOXO to the Landis family.

Dear Landis family,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss.As I never got to meet Mr. Pudgie,I understand he was a very respectable gentleman.I sincerely hope that all of your memories help you through these difficult times.I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.God Bless.

Too early to be leaving us, Pudge. I am fully confident that you will be just as great of guy in your second life, as you were in this one. Linda and I will miss you.

GOD GRANT ME THE SEERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE: COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN: AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

Pudge was a good friend and he will be missed by all. Our prayers and condolences go out for Sharon, Peggy and Patsy and family. We will never forget him.
