Some things are so unfair...I cant even begin to try and understand!
Words cant begin to describe the heartache and pain we are feeling for losing you so suddenly. As each day passes by that you arent here to share with us, our memories will grow stronger and more detailed. Those days will be remembered as some of the hardest days for us, but we will choke back the tears, swallow hard and put a smile on our lips, because we know thats what you would want us to do.
The many thoughts and memories of you clutter our minds and hearts every second of every day. It is impossible not to chuckle at some of the silly things you would do or say.
Their just arent enough words available for me to be able to portray you the way you truly deserve to be remembered. It is known by anyone and everyone whom you came in contact with over the past 64 years, that you were an amazingly compassionate, giving and loving man. You are by far the most extraordinary husband, father, brother, cousin, uncle, friend and grandfather.
You will be forever in our hearts and on our minds. We will miss you yesterday, today, tomorrow...forever.
Papa...I miss you so much. It hurts so bad. I wish you were here to share all the good things in life with me. I'll see you when I get there.
PS Im going to take good care of Nana...dont you worry about that!
I love you.
Love,
Lau

Sandy, Debbie and Joe,
We just can't believe your husband and father is gone so young. We will cherish the many fun memories we shared. We will truly miss his many funny stories and jokes, but will smile remembering all the ones he told us. I will never forget riding to school with Sandy and Joe over the Concord River and passing the school bus at about 90 miles per hour - can't believe we all made it across the River Street Bridge!
