Michele and family,
I have so many memories of your Dad. I was privileged to be able to spend so much time with him and your Mom. He truly was one in a million. I had a father but never a Dad. He was a " Dad" in the truest sense of the word. One of the things I remember most is his laugh and how his eyes twinkled when he laughed. I miss all those conversations at their kitchen table. Your family could have turned away from me but none of you did, and especially your Mom and Dad. I always felt welcomed. While I am sad that hes gone, I know he is sitting in a nice comfy chair with our Lord drinking his coffee and eating his donuts.
Love,
Helen Houck
Grandpa,
I am glad to have had you in my life for the first 34 years. There’s are no words to express my feelings, but I am glad there is no more suffering. A true man who has nothing to regret and always did the right thing even when it wasn’t the easiest route. I will always remember the great laughs we shared. Even at the hospital you found ways to lighten the situation and have always been more concerned about everyone else beside yourself. Now is time for you to be in peace.
I will cherish all the time we got to spend together in both good and bad times. I look forward to seeing you again someday and catching up again.
All my love,
Ricky
Dad,
You are everything a daughter could ask for in a father and it has been my privilege to live my life as your daughter. Your constant love and devotion to our family was the glue that held it together and I will do my best to be our families glue now that you are gone. Your love for my mother has never waivered, even when she became ill and difficult to deal with. Every woman should experience the love that you gave to her. Your devotion to Alan was unbelievable. When most men would run away at that challenge you stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park.
My heart will forever be broken but I take solice in the fact that your heart is now whole, your ears can hear everything and you are at peace with no pain.
I love you to the moon and back and until I see you again remember how much I love you. I will always be “daddy’s girl”
Grandpa,
My heart will always hurt for you.
You are my hero. You have always been my hero. You fought so hard.... until your last breath.
You lived your life so selflessly. Always putting the needs of others before your own, and you did it with a smile on your face.
Grandma hit the lotto the day she met you.... I was always in awe of how she could go shopping all day, spend hundreds of dollars & never get in trouble for it. She would try on outfit after outfit and you play the audience & let her know how she looked in each piece. Your love for her was unwavering.
Our adventures we took (running errands for grandma) and the time we spent together will forever be in my heart. I will tell my youngest 2 kids what an amazing man you were & how much you loved us all. You were so honored that Leighton’s middle name was after your name. My only wish is that he would have been old enough to understand the man you were.
I hope you every single thing in life you always wanted. Dogs, yard work, donuts & coffee, all the sweets you can eat, Arizona weather, a nice car, all the happiness in the world. Most of all, I hope you have peace. Your days of suffering are over & for that I am eternally grateful.
You have touched all of our lives and life will never be the same without you.
I love you forever and always....
So sorry for your loss, Michelle, Rick and family. Your dad will no doubt have a special place in heaven. Hugs to all........Love you, Susan and Rich Lippke.
