"When I was very young, I would roll my eyes when driving down the driveway with my father. I would have to sit down on the couch and watch some old tv program while people would occasionally say a word or two about whatever the hot topic of the day was in the bustling metropolis of Powers. A few years would pass and I would start to enjoy visiting as I would raid your garden, often with the help of my partner in crime/cousin Dan. We would listen to the incredulous stories of Al Capone's whiskey still that we would immediately repeat the next time we were at school, never having a clue that you were just pulling our leg for your own amusement. Later still, we would go to Milwaukee for a baseball game. Staying at a nice hotel with a pool, you couldn't keep me away from it, but you were content to sit in the room watching John Wayne movies all night. Something that still gets brought up with laughter even decades later. Time marches on as it does and to my regret, I find myself lacking recent memories for a variety of reasons. I will never forget one of our last interactions though, it was shortly after I finished my deployment and I caught you looking at me from across the table, when you saw me you nodded your head and smiled slightly. That gesture means more than you could have ever known. You're at peace now, a lifetime of achievement and remembered by multiple generations of people with love and admiration. It is said that nobody is truly dead until their name is said aloud for the final time, know that you have many decades of life ahead of you. See you at the rallying point."

"My deepest condolences to all of Ed's family. Though it has been many, many years - I will always remember him with great fondness. He was a good man who left his mark on the heart of many and was always very kind to me. Steve - I still recall, with a smile, a certain rocking chair debacle on the hosting our very first Thanksgiving. Though I was aghast with embarrassment - he laughed and shrugged it off. Treasure your memories of the man who was fortunate enough to have led a life well-lived. "
