In loving memory of a father who always gave his family a special Christmas filled with gifts, memories, and love. This is the first year he is not with his family on earth and he is greatly missed. Now in heaven, he can rejoice with the angels as our heavenly Father gives us the greatest gift of His son Jesus and His abiding and everlasting love -- at Christmas and always.

Remembering Dad on Father's Day. This year, there were no gifts to buy, no cards to send, no phone calls to make, and no special dinners and desserts to share. This year, there were tears to shed, photos to view, and memories to cherish. This year, Dad is in thoughts and prayers and with God. He is sorely missed and always loved. Enjoying a piece of Boston Cream Pie in remembrance of a special Dad!

Grandpa was a meek, kind soul that always seemed to talk gingerly with a smile. Wonderful to have known him.

I am eternally grateful to Mr John Bardo for his bravery during WWII. Without his successes with the Army Air Corps, there would not have been the birth of the U.S. Air Force, from which I retired in 1993. His generation was indeed The Greatest Generation. We can never repay them for securing our freedom.
