My dear nephew, you were loved dearly by myself and Uncle Bob. I am thankful that we were able to make some precious memories with you. I know Uncle Bob was waiting for you when you got to Heaven. I'm grateful to God for His promise that we'll all be together again someday. See you soon. Love, Aunt Kathy
My condolences go out to all os his friends and family. I graduated with his brother Jim and always knew him as Joey. MEMORY; I saw him for the first time in a while at Brady Auto Mall and had to take a double look and when realizing who he was, I welcomed him and when I did, I called him Joey, as that is how I knew him. He and I laughed. He had grown up to be a very respected man and a very dedicated worker. He will be truly missed by all who knew him.
(To Jim, my classmate and friend, I know how close you two were and my heart goes out to you and will be praying for you all for peace.
