Pappa Runt, I will never forget the day you came to stay with Donnie Joe and Lisa, it was a blessing for you as well as them. To have a family who loves you as much as yours does is a true blessing, and honor. We will miss your laugh, stories and music. Now your in heaven with your lovely bride-meeting and greeting all our loved ones who have come and gone before us. Save us a place at the table-dear man, as I will await more stories, laughs, and a lot of love. I know it will be especially hard for Donnie, Lisa, Haleigh, and Rita, and Donna-but they are strong and they will move on, missing your everyday, but blessed by the fact that you did not suffer. God please bless this family.
