We didn’t always stay in touch, calling each other everyday. When we did get back together it was wonderful to see or hear from you again. I’m so thankful for the time that we spent together in Febuary, having time to reconnect. It was nice just the two of us, sitting talking and enjoying the time we had. It never dawned on me that it would be the last time for us to be together. I will miss being able to call you, spent time with you, I will miss you being in my world and life. I will not receive the mistaken phone calls from you when you would be calling little Dawn and reach me instead! The oh hell not you again statement. I will always remember and cherish these things and so many more.
Love & Miss you always your loving sister Dawn
Dawn and Kristin, that write-up is beautiful and the military portrait was a great choice. Your Dad is smiling down on you, and he’ll be with you through all of this. I wish we could get there. Please know that we are thinking of you all and praying for you. XO.
Julia and Emily and family – I am very sorry your daddy died. I just lost mine and even if your 47 or 17, still is really, really hard. And frankly, it sucks. So, please know I have prayed for you girls, and Lanette, my heart goes out to you sweetheart! If you all need anything, I am here, as well as Alex and Gracie.
All my love,
Laura Maddock
Bobby and I hung out together in high school. I remember a lot of good times. We fought a couple times also so we were all together the best of friends all the time. But we never get mad at each other after a fight. Bobby I will remember you always
Bobby rest in please you with the angles
Kristin and family I am so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news. I did meet your Dad years ago and I remember how nice and “handsome ” he was ! I know how much you loved him and cared for him. This is going to be so hard for you I know but you must be strong for your family. I do understand the heartbreak you are feeling , as I was about your age when I lost my Dad. I miss him so much every day of my life but every time I think of his smile it makes me smile. When you get a minute please call me so we can talk your girls are beautiful and they need you so much! This is such a hard thing to get through but you will do it and be stronger than ever! The love and the hurt you are feeling will never go away you will just find a place to put it and every now and then you will take it out and think about all the good times. This is a hard life we live every day and I know in my heart he is in a beautiful place right now. There is nothing he will want more than for you to live your life to the fullest . I love you and miss you we will talk ! I will say a prayer for you and your family ! with much sympathy xoxo AnnMarie
I have knew Bob since 1982. We hung around for around 25 years. I lost contact with Bob over the past 10 years. He was a good friend and we had a lot of fun times together in the construction business and family. His father and mine were good friends and their relationship passed along to Bobby, myself,wife Alicia my brother Alan and his wife Lori for 2 1/2 decades. He will be missed by our family. Bobby was a good man.
I never got to meet but my girlfriend and your sister dawn told me all about you…I know she will miss you alot….
Rest In Piece
Daddy,
I have always and will always be daddys little girl. I can not express how difficult this last year has been without you. I miss the sound of your voice, your sarcasm, your phone calls constantly checking up on me and your granddaughters, the sound of your motorcycle pulling up or your boots walking up the pathway to my house. It is so hard to believe you’ve been gone a year today. My heart has not healed, you are not missed any less and our family has not accepted the truth that you are not coming back. You are the greatest loss in my life, we were robbed of time & deserved so many more years to catch up. I promise to love everyday and speak of you always. You are forever my daddy and I am always and forever your baby girl. Until we meet again. Yours truly
Kristin Taucher-Barry
