Dear Kathy, Jane and Phil, I extend my sincere condolences to you at the loss of your mother Allene. She was a most remarkable person, of whom I had the great pleasure of meeting and spending time with respect to my own mum. I remember as a young boy, how my mum, Pat, would eagerly await aerograms, not emails from her sister Allene in the States. How they shared much of their lives not only at a distance but also in time. This would send Pat to writing as much as she could onto that one sheet of paper, and with the anticipation of receiving the next missive from your mum. When my mum was experiencing an upheaval in her life, Allene made the time to fly half way around the world to help rescue her. As a result we all got to meet the aunty of the aerograms. Indeed how both your mum and our other aunty, Norma made such an effort to rescue their sister. When I came to visit you in 2000, I was most uncertain of what was to follow, but I am ever so grateful that these sisters met up, and that Allene had the change to rekindle her Australian roots. Best wishes cousins and fond memories to your mum Allene. Your cousin Bill

Dear cousins, most sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. Allene was a most remarkable woman and I am ever so glad she and my mum, Pat had the opportunity to meet up for one last time. So all the the best to you as you reflect upon her memories. Maybe so me day we may get the opportunity to catch up and have a yarn. Your cousin Bill

Dear Kathy, Jane, and Phil, my most sincere and heart felt condolences to you on the passing of your mum. Parted but certainly not lost to you all, as no doubt you will be recounting her to your memories. I always recall when I was a little kid, how my mum, Pat, used to to wait for the aerograms and mail from her sister Allene. How over the years they kept up that corespondence. How when my mum was going through a paticularly bad patch in her life, Allene came out to Brisbane to give her much needed support to regain her sense of well being. Her she joined forces with her other sister Norma, as they set about helping her. No doubt in their long lives, three will not always get along, this was one of those truly beautiful times when they do! When I came to Wilmington in 2000, the schism that was between our two mothers was central to my thoughts. I am ever so glad that they had the opportunity to meet up once again and put it all into a perspective. Ah the tyrany of distance can be a real bugger sometimes, but overcoming it is a treasure. So I wish you all the very best of memories as you trove through the treasure of Allene's long journey through life. Always remember cousins, one part mum, one part dad, and one part yourselves, but only by knowing them do you know who you are in the grand scheme. Best wishes your cousin Bill

We will miss our dear neighbor, Paul, his warm smile and his kind nature. Enjoyed our rides together to Cape Fear Mens Club Meetings.

I lived above Tom in an apartment 47 years ago when we both were single. We were best friends trying to keep each other out of trouble if you know what I mean. He was with us when we first got married and we were with Tom and Pam at their wedding. What a wonderful couple friendship we have had together for 47 years. He was quite a character with the biggest heart ever. We will miss him so much but now he is not suffering any more. Wonder what he is telling God about how to run heaven in a better way. Love to all the family. Lambeth and John

"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." - Thomas Campbell

We played football basketball fished and did maybe a couple things we weren’t supposed to growing up.You have been a great brother! Thank you!

Bill was certainly an interesting man. We did not know him well as he was such a private person. The fact that he hiked the Appalachian Trail in his later life was amazing. Even though he was a cousin, our paths did often cross. Our condolences go out to his son, Billy, at this time. Sandra & Derald Hagen

Anita will be dearly missed by all our family. She was such a sweet person and we all had so much fun together. So sorry she passed. God came for the right person, Miss and Love all of you

We miss you John.

In an earlier condolence message, I wrote that Tom volunteered to help us paint our condo. I left off the most important part “Who VOLUNTEERS to help someone paint?!…Tom Arthur”.

Roy Edward and I were very close from the day I was born. We still are. I Love All of you so much. God Be With Us.

Dear Pam, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Tom. I want to thank Tom and you for enriching our lives with your friendship. There are so many fond and humorous memories of our time together. From Tom volunteering to help paint our condo (late 1980s) to Criss volunteering to push Tom’s wheelchair. Wishing you peace with your memories of your lives together.

Miss you so much Nana

We are so very sorry for your loss to all of Little Jerry's family. Our prayers are said for you . Sincerely Philip and Leann Parker

Paul loved all of the children in need, here in Wilmington. Paul and Linda would shop for gifts for the Christmas Stockings Newcomers provided, for Nourish North Carolina. Paul also delived food to schools, for the children with the Backpack Program. This was done every week.The food was for the week end, for the child. Paul, you are an Angel in Heaven.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Kim two times but could tell during those short times that she was a really sweet person. She is my sister-in-law and I'm sad I didn't get to know her better. My thoughts and prayers are with all who are mourning her loss.

Our condolences to my cousins and my Special Uncle Ducky. Aunt Anita was always an inspiration with her compassion toward others.

A wonderful neighbor and friend. Always put a smile on your face when you met him. May God comfort the family at this time.

My other mother, affectionately known as Mom II. Many nights I was the extra person at her table. She introduced me to pepperoni rolls (no one makes them like she did) and eating the leftover dough because we couldn’t have the cookies til Christmas. I have never met anyone else who started baking in October for Christmas. I have more stories than this box will allow me to share. The best story of all is the love and kindness she always showed, especially to the little girl next-door. You will be missed. Love you!

Love you mom. Thanks for being a good mom, grandma and great grandma. We sure wll miss you and your sassiness. Next time we are at Wildwood we are gonna eat some or probably lots of Mack's pizza, but there's no way I'm drinking a coke Pepsi all the way. Bye mom.

We will miss Uncle Gene so much. I'll always remember the good times with him. One memory I'm fond of is talking to him about his garden when I'd visit. He loved his garden, and taught me about setting one up. Max and I send love and hugs to you.

OMG, My heart goes out to Danny and her family, I'm so sorry for your loss, you all our in our thoughts and prayers.

I graduated with Brenda from Henry County High School in 1968. About 26 years ago she called me because she was taking a trip to California and she had some questions since I used to live there. I told her to please call me when she got back but I never heard from her again. So sorry to hear this. My condolences to her family at this time. I specifically remember how smart Brenda was. And she was a very nice person

Tom will be missed so much! I loved talking fishing and politics with him. He was certainly a character and was so nice to our family over the years.

I am so sorry to hear about Karla. We were in the masters program together at UNCW. I remember her smile and humor in class.

I only met Karla a few times, but it was easy to see that she was a kind, sweet person. I especially remember her quiet, gentle nature. Thinking of all of you during this difficult time and wishing you all some comfort in knowing that her sweet energy is forever part of the universe.

Jackie and family, I am so sorry to hear of your son passing. I will keep you and the family in my prayers.

Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time.

Oh my. I just saw this. Rev. Spaulding helped develop in me a love of singing in me – and gave a shy, depressed, messed-up kid a bucket load of self-confidence, even though I hobbled him when I kicked him in the shin. Go Rest High, sir.

My prayers are with you and family, so sorry ....

I am so Sad for You All for the Loss of Your Dad. I am so Happy for Your mom and Little Gary. I Love You and if there is anything all you need to do is call.

Always loved beautiful Karla. I was fortunate enough for her to be my student life editor when we were on the yearbook staff in high school. One of the sweetest people. My condolences are with the family and friends.

I enjoyed working alongside Tina on Susan G. Komen events and was always inspired by her willingness to help others and love for her sons. Her strength, optimism, and kindness will be greatly missed by all of us at Komen. Sending love to her family.

Lynn was always such a hard worker! I remember that she was a manager at the Circle K near my house and one day I went in to the store and everything was a wreck. Well, I found out Lynn was no longer working there and things fell apart immediately without her and the work ethic so few seem to have now. Lynn will be greatly missed in this earthly world but heaven is now blessed with her presence.

With deepest sympathy.....

So sorry for your loss. Prayers out to you and for your family.

Never forget getting up at day break every Saturday and Sunday going surfing together. And all the times we went flounder giging. To my brother from a different mother . I'll miss you buddy and look forward to seeing you again.

I did not know Karla but I definitely would have loved to be her friend. She must have been a very kind loving person. Sending heartfelt condolences to all of the family.

Jerry, Jackie, Taylor, Garrett, Debbie and boys, I cannot begin to express how sorry I am. I cannot imagine not seeing Jerry ride by the house. He will be missed by many.

Keeping everyone in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry you and your family had to experience this loss. I enjoyed the obituary- well written.

So sorry you and your family are going through this. Such a beautifully written obituary

Karla and I shared a daily “arrival at the same time to work” relationship. I did not know her on a personal level but we were on the same morning schedule. We shared the walk from the Scottish Rite Temple to NHCDHHS many mornings. She spoke to me as if she knew me each time. I appreciated that and thought she was so cute in her ways. There were days where we shared an umbrella waiting on that stop light and laughed about life matters. I am saddened to learn of her passing and praying fervently for her family. A light she definitely was; rest in perfect peace Karla.

Karla will truly be missed. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Karla was such a sweet person & a pleasure to work with. She will truly be missed.

Karla's loss brings so much grief. She had a smile every time I saw her. But every time you see a cardinal, think of her. It will be a visit from her to remind you of her kindness.

Will always remember Karla’s beautiful smile and care free self. Was always a pleasure to see Karla come to Seagoing to visit Gail. The family is forever in our prayers.

She will always be the extra special in all your hearts… I will keep all if you in my prayers

Jackie, Jerry,Taylor, Garrett and Debbie, so sorry for your loss, Jerry was a sweet guy, always threw his hand up, when I drove by. God bless all of you and know that I am praying for you

Jerry was always a great friend to me while I lived in the hood! He also loved to bust my butt, but in a loving way! I am devastated that he is gone! I pray for all of you that have been left behind!

We have many fond memories of time at the senior center with Ms. Dee. She and Reggie made it a special place for the community to gather and she was always the greeter to all. Reflections include gathering for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at the center and the days spent having lunch with the senior gang. She always made us feel important. She cared for her community and especially the seniors. Rest in peace Ms. Dee and our love and prayers to Reggie, Margaret and her sons and the rest of the family.

Herbert and I are deeply saddened by Tina's passing. Tina has a special place in our hearts because of the love she showed to our two grandsons.

Affectionately submitted, Herbert and Velma Williams

Karla was one in a million, always a smile and so sweet. Our family was blessed the day you were born in the Thomas family. Karla will be in our hearts forever. Prayers!

Karla's heart and compassion is so rare! She will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends during this time.

Aunt Ginger, You have been a loving force for so many. I know that seeing the earths waters from around the world has kept you grounded. Lake Junaluska, Nantahala, Morehead, Wilmington, Wrightsville, Jasper and homes are only a few of the places you left some of your heart. Will miss the calls, "Can we talk ?". I know you are with family and Him. Love you C

Mandy and Jeff, I was thinking about your dad today while I was at work. I’m so sorry but we know that he is no longer in pain and is resting peacefully. Take care. Enjoy all the wonderful memories.

I was a child, living in the first house as one of the Hamilton girls. Sorry for your loss. Such a wonderful loving family. Sorry to hear

Dee. There are not enough positive adjectives to identify her. I will have to dwell on that and repost. She and Reggie were the KB Hines Senior Center. They along withGrace Austin made the center we enjoy today. Loved her immensely. Posting more later. What a woman friend to so so many

Mary was truly a beautiful, fervent soul and leaves a true legacy of her faithfulness to God, her family, and country behind.

Karla was such a positive person and she always had a smile for everyone, no matter what she might be going through herself. She will be greatly missed.

Tina and her sister Melanie were my best friends in junior high and high school. Tina was always kind and caring. She would cheer you up with encouraging words when she saw someone making fun of you. She was a good friend. Rest in peace beautiful soul...you will forever be missed and loved!

We were truly saddened to learn of Karla’s passing. Our families attended Marshville Presbyterian church together, and we have so many wonderful memories of precious little Karla and her sisters as they grew in the Lord from birth until adulthood, Karla always had a sweet smile and a gentle soul.

I enjoyed working with Gary at Corning. He never complained about doing any job and was a pleasure to be around. I will miss him.

Tina was my best friend at CastleBranch. She was the strongest person I knew never accepting a diagnosis as final. She suffered so much when her parents died, I’m sure she will hug them first thing in heaven. I will miss her spirit every day and will continue to keep her and her family in my prayers.

Heartfelt sympathy and condolences.

Wow, just found out and I am heart broken. Jeff was a great guy and I am proud to have called him my friend.

I was shocked to hear the news of Karla's passing and want to offer my sincere condolences. I can only imagine how difficult it has been for you and your family and no one can pretend to understand the pain you going through right now. I’m honored to remember Karla as one of the best people I have ever met and even though we didn’t touch base often she always remembered me through our real estate transactions and I am honored to be called “auntie Lila”. I am offering you my prayers and will always be a phone call away if you or your family needs any help. Please don’t ever hesitate to ask. Rest in peace dearest Karla. Lila

You never seem to amaze me. As bad as it was for you you always tried to lift us up because of Chucks cancer. And you raised a wonderful son Tyler our grandson Dominic always liked wrestling with him.

I look at Gene's picture and I remember the young man I worked with at Heatcraft. What a loss! I send condolences and prayers to the family.

Ginger and Dennis invited Kristine and our kids to stay with them at writesville beach.We had a wonderful time.Ginger fixed us eggs benedict first time I I had eggs fixed that way.They were the best ever.We also visited them in Flordia.I will always remember them.They were very special people and everyone that knew them will miss them so much.

I am so very sorry to hear of Brenda's passing. Sincere condolences to you all.

Our deepest sympathy from members of the balcony gang.

I am a first cousin once removed on his mother’s side and knew him as a little kid in Joplin, MO. In our later years we renewed contact by email and text and sometimes by phone calls. In fact just a couple of weeks before his passing, he called and we had a nice talk. So it was a shock to hear of his passing. He was my last living relative on my father’s side. May God bless you all.

Tina lived life to the fullest, no matter what came her way. She was a friend to everyone and showed Grace to us all. She leaves a legacy of Fight the Great Fight and finish your race with courage. Love to her family.

You were such a strong beautiful warrior. You were such an inspiration. I will never forget in high school when you would take my car to go get us all a Big Gulp to sip on from our lockers all day. You loved your Big Gulp! Fun memories. You will be so missed. Your strength in life was so badass! Rest easy beautiful friend.

You were such a strong warrior and an inspiration! I will never forget in high school all of the times you would take my car to go get us all a Big Gulp to store in our lockers to sip on all day. You were such a beautiful warrior. Rest easy beautiful friend. You will be missed.

Tina Ashworth was a woman of strength, courage and full of life. And she lived it fully, not letting this disease define her. She proved to be an inspiration to me of her courage, spirit and strength. She will be remembered with love. Many prayers, thoughts and love go to the family at this time.

So sorry to hear of Gene's passing. We worked together and had some good times. He will be missed by all who knew him. My prayers go out to the family. RIP buddy.

Godspeed beautiful lady. A true fighter that will forever be missed

Tina was a real warrior. She was a beautiful person inside and out. My thoughts are with her family. Kimberli Roessing-Anderson

I worked with Gene many years at GE in both Aircraft Engines and in GNF as well. Gene was a good friend and a great fisherman!!

We didn't know Archie, but we've lived across the street from him for 13 years. I'll always remember him sitting on his front porch with his family every day when it was warm, his beautiful flowers every spring & summer and his Christmas decorations every year. I'm so sorry for your loss. Looking through the tribute photos, he seemed like a very nice man. RIP

Karla is and always will be on my list of the finest people who have ever walked this earth. She leaves behind a devoted husband and 2 incredible children who mourn their loss and who will one day realize that she is stil Watching over them all. Rest in peace. Love from all who know you Karla.

Karla had such a kind heart and sweet smile. She taught me so much in the time we had together. She always treated everyone with respect.

Rudy, Jimmy, Anne Marie and all caring relatives and friends who shared in Doris' life: It was with great sorrow that I learned about her demise. No doubt, my loss pales in comparison to yours. Doris had a way of magnetizing you into her circle of love and that circle never broke throughout the years when time and distance would drift us apart. Upon reconnecting with her the last few years of her life I realized that the bond was still strong as ever. I will always remember her for this. Now, my prayer for you is that her love sends you peace and comfort throughout your life. Sending you love and comforting hugs...Elena.

Phyllis and family,Sending our sincere condolences for the loss of Buddy. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of Mrs. Flynn's passing, She was wonderful and kind neighbor. Please accept our condolences.

We are sad to hear of Jim’s passing. We have been reminiscing about the good times with both of you. Thank you for easing our transition to Raleigh. We would love to hear from you.

Buddy was such a special man! So kind and willing to help. He helped Bill (Sue) so much in driving Sonny (our yard maintenance employee) to doctor's appointments and procedures. Bill had 5 rows in the garden plowed because Buddy wanted to plant a garden. Although the drought destroyed the initial planting, Buddy was ready to start over. To us, he was a quiet man, yet very forthcoming with his spirit of care and joy in helping friends! The shock of his passing was quite overwhelming, yet followed by the peace and comfort that there is an eternity to be spent with Buddy, never to be separated again. To God be the Glory.

Trina, you and your family are in my prayers. Praying for comfort that only God can give at this time. My heart breaks for all of you during this difficult time.

So Sorry to hear of your loss. Our deepest condolences to you and all your family. We pray for your comfort and peace as we know first hand what it means to lose one of your children.

My deepest condolences Rudy and family. Doris was truly a very special lady. She would ask “How are you?”, and actually mean it. She cared. Beautiful lady, inside and out. Heaven has gained an angel. I will miss her. Much love,

Such a lovely man with a precious family. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of his earthly journey! ~Pam & team

Our thoughts and prayers are with Rudy and family during this very difficult time. Doris was an amazing person who extended love to all who know her. She never met a stranger, and she had a way as to make you feel as though you were family. Our nephews, whom Doris always inquired of, are sending love and prayers to the family. Doris was the young Mother to the Waterfall Way circle, and now the circle is broken. Rest with God, sweet angel.

Sending my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May God comfort his family and friends today and in the days ahead.

Dear Bruce, I will miss you so much at our annual beach trip this summer and always. Your huge hugs and smiles always showed how much you cared for and welcomed your California family. As a fellow dog lover, I knew how much you loved your doggies like your children. Your love for my cousin, your wife Cathy, was so apparent and I'm so happy she was blessed to be married to such a great guy. You are so missed, but will always bring a smile to my face that I was lucky enough to have known you. Love, Holly, Mike, Rylan, and Brayden Boyle

We will miss you our friend what great neighbor you were to us and others. Friendship is so great, We love you both .She is at Peace Now. Your Friends Linda & Stoney God Bless You.

My sincere deep condolences to the Campbell's and Tight families. Although I am new to the company, my prayers will be with you all. God bless you.

I share your loss and send you my deepest sympathy. AC was a wonderful neighbor and will be sorely missed.

My Dear Aunt Doris remained positive, active, bright, and alert right up to her final days. When I would talk to her on the phone from Florida, although I'm sure she was in a lot of pain, she seemed to be enjoying every minute of the conversation. I wish we lived closer so that we could share more intimately in the celebration of Aunt Doris' Life and to be of comfort to Rudy, Jimmy and Anne. I'm sure her beloved dog Jenny misses her terribly as we all do. We rejoice however in knowing that she is now in the hands of our loving Savior, and in the presence of all her loved ones who have gone before her.

Life is brighter having known you my friend! You will truly be missed!!!

Our lives our brighter having you in them! You will truly be missed my friend!

Bruce, may you spill your coffee, curse under your breath, and flash your smile forever more...

Doris and Rudy the neighborhood couple that introduced everyone to new friends on the street. She will be missed as will our visits and shared glasses of wine. Doris was amazing with all the information and travels in her life she never skipped a beat when telling stories. RIP sweet lady we will miss you.

Friends never say good bye only farewell

Meredith, your mom and I are were coWorkers for 29 years and we spoke every day she was not out in the field investigating.To learn of her ascension was very difficult for me as I had been trying to locate her with no luck. Know you were light in her life , She was very proud of you and your determination to accomplish your goals. She was an outstanding investigator and taught me labor law on wages. Her Birds in her backyard was our last conversation topic. I am always your unofficial mom.

Dear Helen, I am so sorry for your loss and that of your lovely and large extended family. I only knew George through you and your news of the big family events when all the girls were coming to town, and always noted the wonderful devotion and closeness of your family. Please know you are in my thoughts at this sad time.

During the short time we’ve lived next door, we have been fortunate to enjoy many visits with Doris and Rudy, sharing a glass of wine and lots of stories and laughs. We will greatly miss Doris’ smile, sense of humor, and genuine warmth towards everyone.

Though we only knew each other a short while we grew very fond of Rudy and Doris. Doris shared joy and love of life with everyone and she will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rudy and the family.

A true brother to us all. Many good times - Boyd’s Campground Key West and playing guitar with you on drums at your parents house to slayer and Metallica. It’s been some years but you’re already missed. Seems like yesterday. Prayers to the Campbell family.

Bruce & Dottie, Steve & Ryan: I have no words to express how saddened I was to hear of the passing of your dear son and brother. Knowing Bruce as a young kid, I always felt and understood his sweet nature and love of the outdoors. My faith tells me that this young soul is resting in the full and complete love of Jesus ..... with all the answers to the questions we all have. I loved Bruce's decency and simple care he showed to me & my family and how he made me feel welcome in any time he spent with an "old guy". Bless him for that! I sure don't know how anyone could have a bad word about this man, who will always be in my memory as a "nice young guy". What other legacy would anyone want to leave behind..... other than his memory of kindness and care that ranks so much higher above those of money & power & prestige. I believe Bruce is living what we all hope & pray to have.... waiting for all those he loves still in our earthly vessels. And, I can only imagine how beautiful Bruce will look like, the NEXT TIME we all see him. My prayers and good thoughts and love are the only gifts I can give to his parents and brothers. I am very sad and hurt for them..... and, yet, I try and picture my old/young pal in the arms of the God of his understanding. Rest in peace, Bruce..... I love you. Vince Mulhall

Dorothy was on my mind and I just learned of her passing. I got to spend a really good day with her about a month before. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. Keeping you each in my prayers.

RIP Doris. Our deepest sympathies to Rudy, Jim (Julie), Anne and grandchildren.

I remember her from grade school. She was so kind. Her parents had a restaurant in Long Island. I'm so sorry we lost touch. Most sincere condolences to the family.

I knew Bruce from my time at East Carolina. His larger-than-life personality and laugh was infectious to all — there was no doubt when Bruce was in the house. I'm hopeful his family will read this and take some comfort in knowing he was truly a positive energy to everyone that knew him.

Doris was a sweet friend and neighbor for many years. She will be greatly missed!

Bruce always brought a fun spirit into our store. We will miss him and offer our prayers for his family.

When we moved into Waterford (knowing very few people) Doris and Rudy invited us and another couple to their home for dinner, and we became fast friends. Whenever we walk past their home (almost daily) we stop to chat and catch up. Doris always remembered what we shared and would ask about our families. Her recall and sense of humor were amazing! We (as well as our daughter, grandson and dog) will miss her terribly. Rest In Peace, Doris!

Bruce, you were one of the originals, one of our own and taken from us way too soon my brother. You lived on your own terms, were loved by all who were blessed to know you and your loss will weigh heavy on all of our hearts. Rest easy my friend and hope we can get back to the Bahamas in the afterlife.

We are so sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. He has taken care of our yard for many years. Prayers for all the Campbell family. Sincerely, Lee Taylor and Barbara @ 801 Bluebird

You always felt welcome when around Bruce, he had a special way of making you feel like family. You have our deepest sympathy. Thinking of you in these difficult times and sending love. May your memories bring you comfort.

Bruce was a good soul. He had a way of connecting with everyone in the room, and making you feel at ease and welcomed. Even though I have lost touch with him over the years, he will be missed. God bless

A wonderful life, gone to soon. We will miss you, but you will always be in our hearts and we cherish the good times we all shared with you and our families in the Bahamas, the Keys and Arkansas. May god bless and keep you. You were one of a kind.

So sad to hear about Bruce's passing. The statement about being the leader of adventures resonated with me. My foremost memory of Bruce is the huge smile on his face after the infamous "firecracker in Uncle Dick's grill" incident, which I'm certain he instigated.

What a fun-loving guy! Growing up w/ the Campbell boys was like attending a circus, you never knew what to expect. Bruce was a kind, sensitive guy who made people feel part of the group. I'll always treasure the memories. Rest in Peace!

We loved Doris very much and are grateful to have had her in our lives. We will miss her dearly and our hearts go out to Rudy, and her family, including Jenny.

I met AC through his brother Sunny and had the honor to sit and chat with him on his porch! Wish I had more time talking with him and hearing more of the stories!! RIP AC!

We will always remember Doris as a sweet & loving person who went out of her way to ask "how you're doing" and to say a kind word. We loved her & Rudy very much as good friends & neighbors, and we will certainly miss her.

I will remember you "boss" Great man with a big heart.thanks for everything.

Even though I never met AC, his sister Carlene always had a story to tell about him, she loved him dearly. My deepest condolences to the family at this sad time.

I have sweet memories of my uncle. He always had a twinkle in his eyes and quick witted. I know he loved his girls and grand children. He always called me "Sis" and I had to fight him off from getting the whole pecan pie at our reunions! Will love and miss you.

Sara, John, Bill Sherry & family. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers go up for your family. Love you all sorry to hear of your loss.

My prayers with Mr. Watson beloved family. He was a wonderful person now with beloved wife Helen in Heaven. He was always there for his family, In Loving Remembrance

would you like for a memorial to be sent to the church @ st Johns & what fund? Building, Organ, music or other? Thanks

So sorry for your loss as he was a good neighbor & friend. No doubt about it, he will be missed.

Dear John and Drew so very sorry for the lost of your mother. Cousin Cathy

My heartfelt condolences to you Alan your family and all members of the Roche and Starkey Families. Kathy Ann was one of the most special people that I had the great fortune to know.. We enjoyed so many fun times summers and weekends through high school and college. I always looked so forward to spending time with her at family gatherings. She was one of the most genuine and talented people. Rest in heavenjy peace Kathy Ann.

I want express my sincerest condolences his family and loved ones....he was an amazing person with a string will for life and family, an awesome father and a wonderful grandfather and uncle. I hold very fond memories of him and my aunt Helen. They always treated me and my sister with great love and respect. He will be greatly missed by all.

If you knew Bruce, you loved him. He had a huge heart and personality. I am sure he has our departed friends laughing in heaven with the hilarious stories of his adventures here on Earth. Love ya Bruce....till we meet again.

I am so sorry for the family's loss. My heart goes out to everyone that knew him. I am sure Mom will be glad to see him.

How do you say goodbye to the best father a son could ever have.. The person who held my hand when I needed it,, The person who supported and guided me through life.. We laughed together and we cried together... You were always my role model.. You were my best friend.. This hole in my heart will never heal, but I hope that you'll find peace in the arms of your beloved once again.. I will love and miss you forever.

Melvin and I are so sorry for your loss. AC was well thought of. He will be missed by all. May God bring comfort to his family and friends during this time.

Dear Brian and Nancy We are so sorry for the passing of your dear father Norman. He was so lucky to have the two of you these past five years and we’re sure his quality of life was better for it. We have such fond memories of our last visit with him and your mom in Tewksbury. We laughed the whole time we were there! We always enjoyed the conversations and loved how he always made everyone feel so welcome. God bless you all! Peter & Martha

So many fond memories of gatherings with family and friends at his home. AC never met a stranger and all who met him, loved him. His wit was so natural, and as you laughed, hysterically, he would just crack a grin. We loved AC and his family, he will forever be a fond memory in our hearts and will surely be missed by all who knew him. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Friends like AC are few and far between. It was an honor to have known him. We will miss you AC.

AC was an awesome neighbor! He watched all the comings and goings from his front porch. He was always the first in the neighborhood to decorate for Christmas, getting everyone else in the spirit. I can't imagine driving by his house without seeing him on the front porch. Rest in peace dear friend. Respectfully, Linda and Lee Garris

My dear friend - you are deeply missed. I always admired your strength and how brave you were. RIP

The beer refrigerator in the Vestal basement and the the miniature trailer we played cards waiting for rain to stop before we broke the chain saws trying to clear the woods. Gail I tried to email but think you address changed! Hug those kids!

I can count on one hand the amount of times I would come home (I lived across the street from AC) that he was not surrounded by his beloved family on that front porch. On the rare occasion he was alone I would often go over and have a chat. AC was such a laid back guy and so easy to talk to it felt natural from the first time I met him. I was not in the best place when I was living there, so my only regret is not spending more time chatting with him. AC and family always made me feel welcome and we’re the epitome of what a good neighbor is. He was a wonderful man and my family thinks the world of him. My heart and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Bruce...you will always be one of my all time favorite people in the whole world. We will miss you everyday! Sending love and prayers to all who were lucky enough to call You friend and to your wonderful family. Such a special person who holds a huge special place in this world

AC will always be my porch buddy, a truly bionic man with a perpetual positive attitude. I will miss you and our conversations. Peace be with you, my friend .

AC will always be my porch buddy, a true bionic man with a perpetual positive outlook . I will miss you and our conversations. Peace be with you, my friend.

Bruce you were our endearing friend and your charisma always melted my heart. I am now heart broken and will miss YOU, your raspy voice and your contagious smile. I love you forever.

Bruce you were the big brother to all of us. Ripping the surf on your FD quad way ahead of your time. Picking us up in the van and taking us up coast surfing or just hanging around. Playing drums to the stereo on the steering wheel! So many classic keys fishing trips to the bridges and camping out. My friend you are truly one of a kind and memories of you and your laughter will never be forgotten. Rest easy until we meet again.

Bruce what a blessing to have you in our lives. You were a highlight of our annual family beach trips and you will be sorely missed. Thanks so much for the wonderful fish dinners you prepared for us each July. I, Uncle Bill, especially treasure the special bonding we had as "fellow gimps" when we both had hip surgery at about the same times. Love you always Uncle Bill and Aunt Jeanne Clark

Debbie Price

My heart aches..... You were one of a kind. I am so thankful to have known you and truly love you like a brother. Until we meet again.

Bruce I will always be thankful for all the trips I took with you and your brothers. Being included in the Campbell brotherhood on those trips will always make me smile. Big fights, big laughs and great times. Thank you Mi Amigo god bless you

You were a joy to know!

Bruce, you warmed our beach visits with your jovial jokes. You called Etoile “babydoll” and always made time to arrange a wonderful night fishing trip with Franky. Your time on this planet was short, but you filled our hearts with joy. We will always miss your presence and think of you often. Rest In Peace. Love, Heather, Franky, and Etoile Jeanne

Dear Bruce, I'll miss you--you were an awesome person and the best cousin-in-law ever. I'll always remember your warm personality, the annual fish fries, the boat rides, and the hug when we said good bye each year. God bless you up in heaven. Love from Hunter, Jin, Lee, and Harry.

Bruce you will never be forgotten, you are one of a kind my brother! I will never forget you and the fellowship we shared.

Oh how I loved to hang with Bruce. He always gave me a hard time at ECU and every time he came to a VB tournament, but I loved every second of it. ALWAYS a great time. One of my memories of the South Florida Campbell boys with their mullets was Bruce busting out Metallica on his drums and I was amazed at how good he was. I had never seen someone play drums like that. We will miss you brother. May God have your golden drums awaiting.

Bruce was one of a kind. He was a big brother to all of us at ECU. Always had your back and always made you laugh. His smile and laugh are eched in my brain. RIP brother.

Bruce, I can’t wrap my head around this. You will be missed dearly, gone too soon, and will be loved forever. Your 4 girls are going to miss you everyday. Until we meet again. Love you

Praying for the entire Campbell family. Bruce will be missed by everyone who new him. Our heartfelt condolences. Loma and Randy

Bruce my friend you made fun of me and i made fun of you and the more fun we made fun of each other the more fun we had! Fun with you i LOVE! I am blessed to have shared time and space with you!

Our beloved Bruce has gone to Heaven. A void to never be filled again. I too, will deeply miss you.

Bruce never met a stranger and was loved by all. He was one of the 1st people I met at ECU and was glad to call him brother.

Can never forget all those times in college when we tore it up. Always had a laugh & a smartass remark that would bring down the room. You’ll be sorely missed, my brother! Aloha til the next round.

Bruce brother enjoyed many times with you and you always Made me laugh with your sarcasm and smile. From helping with the landscaping business to playing golf to just hanging with the Campbells.Gonna miss you most definitely. May you Rest In Peace.

I love you and will always remember your laugh, your hugs and your fish, Captain Bruce. You were the best brother in law we could have asked for. You are at peace with God now.

Sandra was a quiet, soft spoken, and gentle person. She loved the Lord and her light for Jesus shone for the world to see. She will be greatly missed and I feel blessed to have known her. My prayers are with the family.

RC and I would like to tell you that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Never met her but she look in her photo's to have been a kind loving lady. R.I.P

What a wonderful Christian Lady. She with Jesus now but she helped me so many times with learning about Jesus. Along with helping the kids at church. Will be miss

Margaret was a beautiful person inside and out. She loved Tim, Jana and Ethan more than words can express. She will be sorely missed but her love for her family will live on.

Heather I can't believe its been 9 years today since I have seen your beautiful face and heard your sweet voice. I am trying not to cry because I know in my heart your in a much beautiful place with our Lord an Savior. I have never felt the pain of living and losing something so dear to my heart. You are truly your Moms daughter. As you know Bubba is doing better and in treatment. I just miss you so much I feel as if I am alone without you here by my side. I just want you to know its the same around here I just dont have you here with me in person, I feel so alone but as long as my heart beats I know ypur close. Your garden is beautiful not as beautiful as you but still pretty. Can't wait till we ate together again. Love you Mom

Lynn was always so happy and always made everyone else happy too. We shared some really good moments together. Lynn loved her family and friends. Go rest high my dear friend, love you always. Rest in Paradise!!!

Dear Paula and Sean, I'm so sorry for your loss. Patricia was one of a knd, and it was a pleasure knowing her.

I first met Sandra while she was teaching the 2 year old class at 9:30. She loved caring for and leading the little ones. I feel very blessed to have had time to know her. She will be missed in the preschool. She helped lay a Biblical foundation for so so many children.

Sandra DeLuca was an amazing Christian woman. I was just thinking about her recently in regards to her faithful years of serving the Lord at Northside. We started attending there in 1995 and she was busy then...teaching the little ones and then started serving in our AWANA program. No matter what was going on in her life, she was faithful to serve. Thank you, Sandra, for demonstrating Gods love for us through your love for Him.

Patricia was my other Mom. She was my Mom's best friend, and was family. I was very fortunate to have been able to grow up with her and her entire family, and have remained close through all these years. You are forever in my heart, and will be greatly missed. Chochi Mary

Mr. Jimmy will sure be missed. Always loved his visits to the HR Department. Rest Easy. Prayers for Mrs. Libbie and the family.

I would talk to grant all the time in class when he lived in Cary and I am so sorry to hear of his passing! My condolences and prayers to your family! He was always so kind and funny.

Sending lots of love from the Hunt and Beecher families. Our deepest condolences to your family.

I am very saddened to read of Mrs. Dominguez passing. I remember her very well. I have great respect and admiration for her. She could be a tough mom at times, but I always saw the love in her eyes. I love the way her eyes sparkled when she talked about her children, yes even Alfred, and Mr.Dominguez. She loved her family and it showed. She was always kind and generous to me. The last time I saw her I asked her to make me some sauce. She made great sauce. She smiled and said, "ok". I will keep that memory. I can't think of the right words, but I have memories from the last 50 years to hold me. My condolences to the family and friends. Love, Patty xoxoxo

My sincere condolences. Prayers for the family.

Praying

we went to middle school together, and in math we would always be laughing & throwing pencils at eachother

Susan left her memory with many of us and we will remember her as we pass her church, Arlington and Bermuda Dr. and other Wrightsboro places we saw her. Her family were placed on Windermere Presbyterian Church prayer list where some of her cousins attend. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Doris was my "forever" friend. I miss her already. She was gracious, kind, and loved everyone. God has added another angel into His heavenly home and one day we'll be together again. Please pray for Holly as she was the light in Doris' life.. In Christ, Elisa and Roger

Prayers to the family. Fun memories shared among my family of him and especially my son Andrew who I console as I write. They talked everyday online for nearly two years without missing a day. He had been worried and only learned today. We are praying for you.

Dear Family: Grant and my son Andrew hit it off right away in Cary. They communicated everyday for the past two years. My son only now learned what happened as he knew something wasn't right when he missed his daily check-in. As a parent, my heart aches for you and your other children and other family as well. My child shared in your tears as I sit here with him now to console him. Grant is loved. Grant IS love. There's not enough to be said, but please know our hearts and thoughts are with you in prayer.--Andrew Johnson & Angela Bryant

Went to West Cary middle with him for a year but he was always nice and always was in a good mood, We were never that close but he was an amazing person sad to see someone like him go. May he rest in Peace

Grant was a great friend we would drive around all day having a good time I will never forget those times we would do nothing and have a great time I miss you i will pay my respects as soon as I come home.

I met Grant at Green Hope High School. He was an awesome kid. I had English with him and we used to mess around all the time. We had mutual friends and kind of lost contact after he moved to the Beach. I only just heard about this and I’m heartbroken. I have a lot of very good memories with your son. may he Rest In Peace.

Alan, may Kaete rest in well deserved peace! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Please except our deepest condolence from William Sutton MD, Ray Jolly, PA-C, Bethany, Tiffany and Marsha (The Sutton Team at Emergeortho).

Alan so sorry to hear of your terrible loss ! Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

My wife and I so sorry to here about Jon passing. Due too work conflicts I was not able to make the memorial. I work with Jon at Annabelle's for 8 plus years and he was my roommate for several years. My fond memories of Jon is working on a Friday or Saturday night at Annabelle's with Miles Davidson at the helm leading the team thru the waves of orders to turn out some of the best food in Wilmington. At Christmas time Jon headed up most time getting that huge Christmas tree into the building and getting it place just right. For Christmas and Halloween the wait staff and always Jon and myself both help with the decorating. A beer or 2 always made the decorating a little more fun. Jon was beach music guy who would make the annual Emerald Isle beach music festival .His smile when he was happy and the quick blast of vocabulary when he was mad would most time make me laugh at him. I will always have these fond memories of him and us setting up late and just talking at the house. For the Lindquist family we are sorry for your loss of Jon. For Windy Batten we are especially are heartbroken for your loss of Jon, because we know the love you had for him never wavier. The things we regret was not staying in touch.

Shock lived across the street from me when I was a child in Naperville, Illinois. As an older boy in the neighborhood he was really cool to me. He allowed me to hang out, listen to music while he worked on his Camaro. It seemed that he was always doing something with his Camaro and trying to fix the timing. I was recalling how nice he was to me and decided to look him up. As you can imagine it is upsetting that Chuck passed away. My condolences to the family he leaves behind. He certainly had an impact on my life because he was a very good guy who allowed the younger kid across the street to listen to his music, talk to him, and basically be a nuisance. Thinking of Chuck makes me smile because he was the first older teenager in the neighborhood who treated me like a peer - not as a "kid" - when, in fact, I was a kid to most... I am saddened by his loss.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Ms Doris. I worked with Holly back in the early 1998- 2000s as I was with a home health company and spent many days in the home with Doris and Holly. Prayers to the family ,also special prayers for Holly. Ms Doris was a kind hearted person and will be dearly missed.

We got know George over the last 12 years and more recently as a neighbor across the street. He was a soft spoken and gentle soul and always smiling. We are still finding it hard to deal with the loss. We know Helen is devastated and relishes her memories of their long and faithful relationship. We so appreciate the opportunity of knowing him as we did. He made our lives better.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time - Her faith and peace over the years was encouraging and did not waiver....even now it gives me some peace also. I appreciate her kind words and encouragement through the years as we stayed connected through Facebook! I look forward to seeing you again one day in heaven Mrs Susan! -Teddy

My Prayers and Condolences to Jon Family we Work Togather many years at Annabelle's Restaurant one the hardest working cooks just a Great Loving Person !!

What an honor to have known Brittany and to have been privileged to be involved with some of her events . We are all just learning of her passing so are are just now going through a deep sadness with hope that your memories Rich and Sandy have had time to evolve into joy and happy memories . With love Your Kansas friends

So very sorry to learn of Susan's passing. I go way back with the Gore family. Candace was one of my closest friends, and since we all lived on Arlington Drive, we all knew each other. In spite of all the challenges she faced she always had a smile on her face. The last time I saw her she was healthy enough to be outside. We ran into each other at the shopping center in Wrightsboro. She was always genuinely happy to see a friend, and I'll always remember her in that way. Johnny, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sad and sorry to learn of Susan's passing. Condolences to her loving family. She was such a sweet woman.

I am praying for the entire family.

Our deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Susan, Kathy, & Craig in the loss of their father. Many prayers for comfort. We're here if you need us. Much love.

Dear Craig and family. This is Carole Biddick, George's first cousin in WI. I can't begin to tell you how truly sad I was and still am, to read of George's passing. Can hardly believe it. I am wondering when his service will be, because if at all possible I will fly out for it. Our only granddaughter is graduating Memorial Day week-end, so I have to be in WI for those days. I just called the funeral home in Pasadena and as of right now they don't know either. I always told George that he had to come out here for my memorial service to cheer everybody up. I made it plan to my husband that he was to send George the money for a ticket so he would be there for sure. He was so good at that!!! Southwest Airlines has a good amount of flights into BWI so hopefully it will work out for me to be able to be there. Unfortunately I don't have George's personality, so I won't be cheering anyone up, but I did love him especially cause he loved my mother (Dolly) in FL so much and he was so kind and thoughtful of me with my lung cancer diagnosis last year. So far I am doing good. Praise God. All my love and sympathy, Carole Lee

Paula and Sean- sending much love and prayers to you and all your family

Godspeed beautiful lady. Kathy and Hank you are in my prayers during this difficult time. I pray God gives you all peace and comfort.

I am so sorry for your loss. Susan and I have been friends since we were 16. We had many good times together. Susan was a great, happy woman. She will be missed a lot.

Paula and Sean, My thoughts and prayers are with you. Patricia lived a life "her Way" and I loved her for that...RIP Patricia, God Bless

Paula, I am so sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. What an open and true personality. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

A wonderful woman & great friend is gone. I have a lot of memories of the fun times we shared. My heart goes out to her children & grandchildren. She will be missed. Love Jan aka Janooski

I so enjoyed talking with Kaete about pottery and whatever other wonderful art project she had going after she and Alan left Orange Street Pottery, and was glad we still could spend time together at Unity activities. She was a kind, strong, talented woman and her sweet presence will be missed by many. My deepest sympathies to Alan and all those who loved her.

What a pleasure it was to work with Susan at Sea Gate Baptist. What a greater pleasure to know that she is now in the presence of CHRIST. My warmest regard for her sweet family she lovingly spoke of so very often. FAITH, GRACE, and BLESSINGS. Sea Gate Baptist Church

Susans Kind Friendly Heart

Chuck was a caring neighbor who really enjoyed his animals and being in his yard planting trees. He was proud of his service to his country and I took some great photos of him in his heavily decorated uniform, what a great sight! Hope someone has them and show them Tuesday!

To my fellow Wildcat, class of 1972, Susan!! Mandy, Susan was a wonderful woman. Prayers to you and the family

What a sweet, kind, fun loving gal whom i will miss laughing with!

My deepest sympathy to Tommy, April, David, Judy and grandchildren. I was heartbroken to hear about Helen's death. We were friends for many years and I have spent many happy moments visiting Helen and Sam in Long Island and Pennsylvania. They treated me with such kindness and friendship. Helen was a strong woman with care and compassion to all she knew. I will miss her laughter and kind spirit. May you rest in peace my dear friend.

Mandy and family. What a blessing to have such a sweet person as your mother and wife. We pray for God's comfort and rejoice in the special memories you have. Thank you for being such a great friend to Chrissy. We are always here for you.

May God bless you Susan on your journey to see him. You have always being a great friend and I will miss your hugs from you we've known each other from the third grade and I wish the family all the best you are in a better place now and never forget my dear. That I love you

My apologies. Correction to my previous post Please sign as Foster Brother -in-law (Germantown Maryland) Regards Stephan Malinowski

My condolences for your loss. Frances was a sweetie who endeared my heart when she visited me as a a teenager to deliver my December birthday gift in a taxi (no Uber). She said that my having a birthday so close to Christmas must be celebrated separately. That acknowledgment left a permanent legacy. It’s The gift that keeps on giving ( on my birthday ) (Your foster brother in law-Germantown Maryland) Thank you Frannie.

to johnny and family sorry to hear about the passing of susan i had the pleasure of seeing susan at the fire station and around town she was a very sweet person she always had a smile on her face she will be dearly missed by her church family and friends

You Mom was a precious gem that brought humor and zest to everyone she encountered. May you find joy in the memories she created for your family and peace in the days ahead. With sincere condolences.

I met Jean when I moved my family to Wilmington in 1998. We remained connected through basketmaking all these years. I remember her with love and admiration. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person.

Dear Loved Ones of Patricia, I'm happy that she brought each of you into my world. Celebrate her long life and your warm memories. Psalms 55:22

Paula, Sean and family I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget her coming into my office at the VNA and joking and making me laugh! She was quite a character and I always liked her:). Good memories! So glad I got to see her and have her over for dinner with you. You were both so devoted to her. God bless you.♥️

Your mom was special. I’m glad I had the privilege of knowing here. Loving and caring thoughts your way.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. We always enjoyed talking to Susan at the softball games of our granddaughters. She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. May you find comfort in the cherished memories of your loved one.

Patricia definitely kept everyone on their toes. She had such a wonderful family who took such great care of her until the end of her life. My deepest condolences to you all.

i saw her every day, in my class. she always smiled at me and asked me how i was doing, when i found out my heart broke. it broke the school as well. i will be living for her. always and always. she is proud of me, and watching from above. thank you for your beautiful smile. your kindness was the reason i came to school. i love you. fly high. living for casey

What a wonderful tribute to Patricia. You did catch her personality so we'll. She was a character with spunk and you gave her a wonderful life. What a very special, caring, loving family you are. So sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Patricia.

I feel so lucky to have known Nan and am so sad to hear that her firecracker spirit will no longer light us all up. Sending thoughts of strength and love to one of my favorite families on earth. Love & condolences, Liam (a.k.a. “chunky but cute” as she called me ;)

I worked for Paul back in the 70s and 80s at his firm Tapecaster TCM. It was one of the most enjoyable jobs I ever had. Paul was a great man to work for. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I did get to talk to him a few times last year and enjoyed the conversations. I will miss those phone calls. God Speed Paul.

So very sorry for your loss! Bet Patricia has livened up heaven. Love y’all!

Paula, at the monthly coffees I always got a kick out of Patricia. She knew her mind, was smart, and very, very funny. She lived life to the fullest and she deeply loved you.

Paula and Sean, I am so sorry for your loss of Patricia . Loss of a mom is one of the more difficult of all losses to endure. Patricia was certainly a hoot and you were both blessed to have had each other for so long. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Peace, love , and light to all of you. Patricia was indeed one of a kind. She and I enjoyed using a few naughty words at times. She is at peace now. Much love to all of your family.

Paula and Sean, We are so deeply sorry for your loss. Miss Patricia touched all of our hearts with her zest for life, compassion for animals, and love for her family & friends. Our most heartfelt condolences. Kim & Bill Henderson

One more hug would be nice. I hope the good lord met you at the pearly gates and took you to see your mom. What a joyous reunion I bet it was. You were a great person even though you did not like Nancy Pelosi but more importantly left a loving family and legacy to carry on in your honor. Your suffering is over and the whole family will look after Johnny, Mandy, Lindsey, and your grandchildren. RIP, god speed and go rest high on that mountain.

There are no goodbyes for you and your family. Wherever you are she will always be in your hearts. Peaceful thoughts to you all.

Paula and Sean, you know I loved Miss Patricia and I know you two did an excellent job caring for her. We will miss our favorite Ray of Sunshine! Love, Celia

Such a beautiful picture of Patricia. Much love to you both, Paula and Sean. Your mom was blessed with you two in her corner. Thinking of you both, Liz

I am so very sorry to hear about Scott. My name is Deborah Derkack and Scott and I were good friends growing up on Pleasant Valley Road in Old Bridge ,N.J. Besides living on Pvr we went to High School together,Cedar Ridge. I moved there in 1974 and became friends with Scott. He made everyday special in some unique way. Wether he’d be getting on the bus to school or lunch time in the cafeteria he owned the radio and would change the channel tuning in his favorite songs, while singing on top the table playing his imaginary Fender guitar. The crowd (kids)would go wild cheering him on, teachers too. He was always Happy,polite,and always made everyday interesting. We shared a lot of concerts,Queen was the Best. Walked a lot of miles together on Pvr until we got dirt bikes. Also had kinda our own baseball field (Quackenbush) and ice skating pond where we skated in the winter. I could go on and on thinking back of all the great times Scott and I shared. He was so Full of Life and made everyday special. I’m so sorry for your Loss. Your all in my Thoughts and Prayers.

On behalf of the team members of the Enterprise Security & Risk Management Office with the North Carolina Dept of IT, please accept our sincerest condolences at your loss. Gone but never forgotten.

I had the pleasure of meeting Grant and his beautiful family at the dentist office. Following his initial appointment, we had a long conversation about Scotts Hill (as I grew up there), Topsail High School (we shared a few of the same teachers) and hunting. I wanted to book a flight to Idaho by the end of our conversation. I was so struck by his great manners, intellect and maturity that I sent his mom a text before he could leave the office. Our days are concluded by a huddle and the opportunity to individually speak about something great that happened that day. I excitedly announced "Meeting Grant!" Not surprisingly, my doctor chimed in exclaiming "Hey, that was mine!" Subsequent visits were just as enjoyable. We will miss his beautiful smile, charisma and kindness. He now has an aerial view of his favorite hunting spots and can see those big bucks back in Boise. Continued prayers to each of you during this difficult time.

Dear Kirk, Our hearts and minds are with you and your family. My prayers for strength and healing.

We are so so sorry for your loss, god bless you and family. Our sincerest sympathies.

Dearest Carmen and family, you have our deepest condolences for your loss of a great husband, father and man. May he rest in peace.

Grant was such a good friend he would take me and my girlfriend out to eat and hang out with us. He would take you anywhere you asked if u had a destination he would get you there. He loved having a good time and bumping his music loud. We’re going to miss him so much AND THERE WILL NEVER EVER BE ANOTHER FRIEND LIKE GRANT!!!

Jon was a very close friend of mine. I am very sad to hear of his passing. I worked with Jon and learned alot from this man. If you got to know Jon you would know of his sense of humor. Really gonna miss you buddy!

I feel lucky to have known such a lovely caring person. You were so fortunate to have her in your life. I am so sorry it was a life that was too short lived.

Kaete, I still can’t believe I’ll never see your beautiful face again. I think you were 5, when I first met you. You were perched on the doorknob of your bedroom door, swinging back and forth! At that moment, I just knew we had to be friends. Over 60 years, from crabbing, surfing, camping on the Cape and Martha’s Vineyard, to dancing on the bar at Jimmy Byrns, we surely have made some great memories. I will never forget growing up together and sharing our hopes and dreams. Our friendship stood the test of time. Please save a seat for me up there so we can enjoy a bucket of steamers together. Until we meet again my friend. Love you so much. ❤️

I am sorry for the passing of Jon. He was a special part of the Batton family. He will be missed. He loved to cook and watch people enjoy the food he prepared. May God’s comfort reign over his friends and family.

Grant was a very special part of our family and we just loved his sweet soul. We are sending all of our love to Meagan, Kirk, Katiebug and lil Fletch! We love you all so much and sending so many hugs and love to NC from Idaho. He was one special Grant Dude to us and always will be in our hearts.

It is next to impossible for me to sum up my fathers life in just a few paragraphs... He blessed this earth and each life he touched for 93 years..... his legacy will live on with each and everyone of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren he leaves behind. A friend asked me “ What kind of father was your Dad?” He was a very gentle, kind and compassionate father.... ALWAYS funny... always making us laugh.. He never talked negatively about anyone... He had a strong faith in God (his faith helped to lead me in my spiritual walk...for which I am eternally grateful). I was blessed these past few years to be able to spend time with him.... getting to know him better... (He and I were like “buds”...always looking forward to going out to eat for breakfast...then lunch...then dinner!! That was the highlight of his day!) I always knew (in my heart) that my time with him was limited so, I cherished each moment I had to spend with him.... even up until the last breath he took on this earth.... I was blessed to be with him and pray with him as he made his transition from death ... to life eternally.... he has a new body....no more pain... Yes, Dad...I will see you one day again... We have a void in our lives without his presence with us....but, we also hold onto the promise of God that we will one day be united with him in heaven... Praise God!!!!!

Dear Meagan and Kirk, I am so glad we got to attend the services viral. Not like being with you, but next best. I laughed and cried with you. I am so glad your family is with you at this devastating time. Thinking of you and your little family. Hugs

We say goodbye to dearest Andy, a friend of 20 years, when we became neighbours in NJ. Now back in Europe, we send Jeff and all his family our deepest sympathies.

So sorry we didn’t get to see Jon as we had planned before Jon’s passing. Our condolences to his family, we will keep Jon in our memories of him happy and proud of his accomplishments.

Andy always wore his smile true, no matter what he was fighting through. He was a deeply caring person who went out of his way to be there for others. He helped me immensely and I have learned so much from Andy. He was the best boss I ever had, and he was also a great friend. His spirit lives on within all of those he has inspired and touched in his beautiful life.

I've know Jon for 40 years. Was there when he reunited with his brother, my husband Rick. Went through good times and bad as a family. Will miss you, dear brother in law. Say hi to Rick for me. . .

Condolences to the family, from Wilson Trumbull and sons Kevin and Christopher.

I met Jon when he was married to my cousin Wendy he was a very nice guy

I met Jon through one of my best friends, his brother Rick. We visited Jon a few times to watch a Nascar race and chow down on some tasty vittles. I always did like those Lindquists. They knew how to enjoy life.

I will always remember Paul ( my brother-in-law) for his kindness, gentle soul and loving devotion to Eleanor. I am sure he and Eleanor are together again.

Kirk and family, I am so saddened by the news of the loss of your precious son. I will keep you in my prayers...my condolences.

Your family at Bloom are sending big hugs and smiles to "Miss LIssa" and her family.

It's been a long time since I'd seen Casey but I remember a period of fun times way back and I'm sorry to see her light leave this earth, love you Casey

Words cannot describe how heartbroken we are for you all. Praying for you during this and know that everyone is thinking of you all and here for you.

Truly a Gentleman for all time, prayers and love to your family, with peace in your hearts, from a little Hewins kid class of 1969, from Hightstown, Nj

Big Hugs and Condolences to Pious and Casey's Families...:(

Big Hugs and Condolences to Pious and Casey's Families, Love Always, Alyce Christine Beck

Sherry I am sorry to see there’s notice about Peter passing away I am sorry to see there’s notice about Peter passing away .... I consider him a friend and always enjoy our conversations

Sherry. I’m am sorry to see this notice of Peter passing. I always enjoyed his conversations

Dearest Aunt Carmen, Melissa, & Family - My heart is breaking at your loss. I offer my deepest condolences and sympathy at this most difficult time. I already miss Uncle Terry. I feel like we had just been getting to know one another. Uncle Terry was so good to me and my mother, his sister Sharon, before and after her death. He made it a point to drive all the way up from North Carolina to Buffalo to see both my mother and myself, to make sure everything was OK. He was just so sweet and gentle and kind. My best memory is of him at this time. He was such a joy because he put himself out just to make sure that both of us were doing alright just then and were going to be doing fine for future arrangements. Uncle Terry took care of my Mom's life insurance for me too because it would have been too much of a financial hassle for me to do it. He was such a gem - a diamond quietly sparkling and giving off radiant pure light. I love him so very much. We use to talk about out animals also and he would tell me all about "Barky," and I would tell him all about CoCo my little cat. He would listen patiently to me go on and on about her. He loved animals so much. I sent you a card Uncle Terry, but I am afraid that it is probably too late for you to receive it. I hope in some way it can be with you. Remember that you are loved Uncle Terry - by many people. You were a very special man. You will be forever in my heart. I am glad that you are with Gram and Mom and everyone now. They had missed you too. Be happy. Be at Peace.

Kirk, No amount of words can express the pain that you are going through. Sending you love and prayers and hope you are able to find strength during this time. God bless!

Dusty took life in stride and had a knack for staying calm in almost any situation and lived life as it was handed to him with few exceptions. One exception was his hatred for new cars with big grills. They frustrated him to no end and he expressed his distaste for them every time we went driving. One time he and I were driving up to Home Depot together and he was uncharacteristically going into a rant about the new fronts of vehicles. When I purposely parked across from one in the parking lot and looked at him, we burst out laughing and kept laughing walking through the store. I spoke with Dusty daily for the many years he lived across the street. Every Friday, the four of us would go out for lunch and we made a point of scheduling other activities or appointments to make every effort to keep our lunch time together. The photo we attached here was of Dusty and Betty on our way back from one of our lunches on the beach. We kidded him about his belly showing in the photo because we had just finished lunch. Betty would never eat very much and most of the time, she wanted just a few bites but Dusty would always talk her into her own platter of haddock and fries and he would invariably end up eating half her fish and all her fry’s every time! lol When we called him on it, he would just shrug his shoulders and smile. Typical Norman. He got along with everyone and was the charmer of the group. He was a great guy. Always liked by all and loved by many of us that were close to him and Betty. Rita and I miss them both a lot.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I didn't know Grant however I do know your pain. I just went through the same experience with my 17 year old son and know the pain you are feeling. There is hope that we will see our son's again in heaven. May you feel the love of those who are lifting you up in prayer.

Was a sweet gentleman always smiling he was our neighbours for over 10 years.

dear carmen and missy i am so sorry for your dad he was a great man i will pray for him

Carmen, Melissa and your family, I want to express my condolences. I know you will miss Terry deeply. My heart is breaking at this loss. I can’t believe that Terry and I will never talk again in this life. Terry has gone to be with six of his siblings who went to heaven before him. I also know being the last one of this Constable family that they will all welcome me with open arms as they just did with Terry. I love you Terry (SEND MONEY). Terry was a great patriot as his military record demonstrates and wonderful brother. Terry did his things in his quite way, when his sisters were sick or needed him, he would shuffle off to Buffalo to see and comfort them. I am very thankful to have had the honor of having Terry for a brother. My memories of you are the best kind of memories....the ones that take me back from childhood to now. I am so blessed to have grown up together in Buffalo, where all the magic happened. We hung out together and dated the same beautiful young ladies. I will miss him on earth, but I know I will see him again in heaven. Peace be with you my brother.

Alan, I'm so sorry. Kaete was indeed a lovely woman in every sense of the word!

I knew Grant when he was a fourth grade student in my class in Boise. He greeted each day with a smile and made our classroom a better place. Every new school year on the first day of school, I share a writing assignment that Grant wrote many years ago when he was in my class called “How to Survive Miss Miller’s Class”. I asked students to make me sound as mean as possible and Grant said it was the hardest assignment all year for him because he didn’t like being mean to people or speaking unkindly. Although I only knew him for a year, he greatly impacted my life and my teaching career. I knew I could always count on him to cheer for my brother and the Broncos! Sending so many prayers to your family. Miss (Lauren) Miller St. Mark’s School

We are praying that God will heal your broken heart and bring you peace throughout this sad and sorrowful time. Please accept our sincere sympathies for your great loss. Life without our dear Terry will truly be difficult. However we pray that God will comfort you and fill your soul with peace.

Aunt Kathy Ann, Where to begin; First, I am so grateful you and I had the chance to develop a close relationship over the past few years. I loved talking to you and getting advice or tips on things only you could help with. I am blessed and thankful that you got to know my daughter and know her well. She loved you very much and looked forward to your surprise homemade gifts. She also enjoyed doing crafts with you and just having a nice conversation with you. We both looked forward to spending time with you and Alan and we are so glad we had this entire past winter together. We grieved together the loss of my father, your brother, never imagining this would happen. I am so sorry, but at the same time, I am immensely happy that you are at peace. I love you and appreciated you and your thoughtfulness more than you could have ever known. I was honestly thinking of gifting you and Alan with a dog like Lollie since you fell so in love with her. She will miss you also! We will continue on with Alan and have wonderful times together forever bc it is 100% what you would have wanted. Tell my dad hello from us and I'm glad you are there to keep him company. Love Always, Colleen, Bee, Lollie

Dear Aunt Carmen, Melissa, and family: I am so sorry for your loss, and our family's loss. My deepest condolences. Love, Your nephew, Andrew Hollendursky

All of us at Friends of Bloom send you our condolences, Melissa. Know you are in our prayers as you remember your dad.

He will be missed. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He always made me laugh.

Bill was a great patriot and trusted friend. I am very thankful to have had the privilege of knowing Bill. I will miss him on earth, but I know I will see him again in heaven. Fair winds and following seas my friend. "Semper Paratus!"

I had Grant in both Spanish 1 and 2. He liked to talk to me about Spanish food that had tried and about some of his neighbors in Idaho that were from Spain. What I remember most is his sense of humor!! He was funny and had some great one liners! He just had a way of making people laugh. Grant was so respectful of his teachers and worked hard. My prayers are with you all during this most difficult time. I know his light will be missed!

I just meet him at his granddaughter wedding his son Terry is a close friend.i talked to him for a while and was fascinated by his life of a service member it was so interesting and as a fellow member of the military I was so proud sharing stories with him. God bless him and rest in peace

Dearest family, My sincere condolences on the passing of Terry. May the care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace.

Not sure if my condolences were submitted but I’m very sorry for your loss.

My condolences on the death of your beloved father. God bless your beautiful family as you navigate this loss. This really rocks our souls and hearts but be cheered by always saying his name as you remember all the good things. Take care!

Grant was Nans TE fistula buddy and Fynn’s teammate. He had a beautiful smile and was always quick with a hi. My heart breaks for you all and know we are thinking of you and love you all. Peace and love.

I worked with Casey at Addison, she was such a kind and giving person. The Addison Bulldogs offer their deepest sympathies for her loss.

When You Lose Someone You Love, You Gain An Angel You Know

It breaks my heart to say goodbye ❤️ she always had a smile to share a laugh that shines and a story ready to tell.. most likely it was about myself, Ryan, and Bill .. and the most I remember is that I couldn't tell the difference between miss Leigh and her sister many good times at family reunions at uncle Ottis and the river.. (creek as dad would say ..) over the years we lost family to the good Lord and he received another great soul for another family reunion until next we meet again, my heart and thoughts will always be with you

Ronnie today is May 12th and I miss you so much my heart hurts. night time is so bad for me I keep asking God what I am going to do that I need you so much I never though being at this house alone could ever just rip your heart out I love you and want you back home but I know that can never be I will see you again ♥️U

I’m so sorry for your loss. How heartbreaking

With heavy heart, we remember Grant,and his beautiful smile and his outrageous appetite. What a wonderful young man. He will leave a big hole in all our hearts.Love you Grant.Our prayers our with Meagan and Kirk and their family

Our aunt, Kathy Ann you were sooo loved!! I have so many wonderful memories as we were growing up...just a few that come to mind right away are,Your convertible white MG(too cool), Bringing us to Bayhead Shoppers wharf, treating me to Muellers chocolate chip giant cookies and swimming in Poppy's pool with us! You always were up for having fun and shared that joy with us. I loved visiting your cottage,doing crafts and hearing all the stories about Catalina Island. Your carefree fun, kindness and laughter will still continue to live with us. Thank you for those gifts.....We Love You!!!!

My heart is breaking and I can’t believe we won’t be together again in this life with Grant. His beautiful and creative spirit Will live in in our hearts and in his adoring siblings. I will so miss his infectious laugh and his beautiful smile. A wonderful life taken way too early. We love you Grant. Peace be with you Meagan and Kirk.

I remember Casey as a shining light of happiness. She would walk into Carnegie Hall and everyone would be lifted up. I’m thinking of everyone in the family during this difficult time❤️

Dearest Family I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray God fills your spirit with strength and peace.

Pious and Family I didn't know Casey but could see she had a beautiful heart and soul. Her smile in the photos so beautiful. I could see why so many loved her and Pious married her. Peace and prayers

Kaete was brave, kind and compassionate and my life is better having known her. I will miss her sweet smile.

Pious, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you.

Holding you close in my heart

Pious - My heart breaks for you. I never had the pleasure of meeting her but I know she was an amazing and wonderful person thru your posts. The photos of the two of you together were pure love and happiness. Hold onto those memories. Please let me know if you need anything.

We Say Shalom We say Shalom, and not goodbye, for Shalom is goodbye and hello and wholeness and peace all threaded together in one breath, and in one breath we too say goodbye...to a hand to hold, a kiss and a tight embrace, and in the same breath of Shalom we say hello to an ocean of memories and a rush of emotion, gratitude and sorrow, tears and laughter and trembling and fatigue all in one breath. -Rabbi Zoe Klein

Casey was a shining light in this world, she will be greatly missed! My heart goes out to all of the family..

You always helped me anyway you could and all the advice about life talks we had at the shop .I will never forget you .love you uncle jimmy RIP

My memory of the George begins around age 14 when the family of George and Mary Hepbron lived on Lincoln Avenue in Hightstown where many of my school friends lived and played and swam in the Millstone River a stone throw from the Hepbron home where George and Mary raised a large family of six girls, all as close as a year apart, one just as beautiful as the next. My first one on one conversation with George was when I was sent to the principal’s office for scrapping on school property, I was terrified as I opened the door to his office knowing the consequences would mean suspension but oddly the meeting left me with the impression of a kind and gentle man dishing out my penalty only to face a different tone of justice at home by my dad. Fast forward from 1962 to 1969 when George and Mary’s #3 daughter Debby (16) and I (20) locked eyes and hearts at first site on Main Street Hightstown now I’m spending days and dinners with George and family at their Dover Lane home in East Windsor, NJ my favorite was Mary’s pot roast where their pooch Eunice began sacrificing the left overs with a competitor. The years and careers flew by for all of us unfortunately throwing a curve ball that struck at the heart of George and Mary’s union of many years yet neither never skipped a beat at being a dedicated, loving and caring parents though not together. George and I shared countless times together for example trips to Canada, Lake George, Florida Keys, and days at the track having a beer and hot dog or Atlantic City enjoying comps of great steaks and lobster tails. George was my go-to guy when going through my own difficulties as a young man growing up and finding my way as a new dad and trying to be the best I could be. Our conversations, and by his example, gave guidance to who I am today as I looked up to him as a model of near perfection. Fast forward 1982 in the middle of a law enforcement career and ending a twelve-year military obligations Deb and I had the first of our two girls Jamie and Jenny both joining the ranks of the Hepbron grandchildren that blossomed over the years to a herd of great grandchildren where George dedicated his life to nurturing in so many ways many whom I suspect will share their own special relationship with George in their memorials. George and Helen did a wonderful job carrying on the traditions the family grew accustomed to especially during the holidays and family reunions that took place. One most notable reunion given as a farewell gift to all the family was that by our dear Aunt Adele Hepbron, sister to George’s father, who brought us all together one last time at Silver Bay Lake George N.Y. Adele was loved and adored by all who knew her it must be a family trait since George exemplifies everything beautiful in Adele who was adored and loved by so many. It’s difficult to pay homage to someone you’ve known for nearly 50 years in a few short paragraphs and in a memorial to a man whose personality and wonderful character was so large. I can only say “I hope to have done you proud as I tried to be half the man you were.” Goodbye George you will be missed beyond words as you leave a void in so many hearts, we know you are in a better place and one day we will all meet again in spirit maybe even at our beloved Silver Bay Lake George.

Upon searching for friends I hoped to see at my 50th high school reunion, I just learned of Jim's passing. On today, my 68th birthday, I want to honor the kind of young man I recall - mainly from 1967 - 72. I met Jim and Joe Zelibor Jr. walking home from football practice in 1967 to our subdivision in Fairfax - Mosbey Woods. Jim, Joe and I were on the Oakton football team until 1969, and Jim replaced me on the team at Tackle when I left the team. Jim left soon thereafter in a team drinking scandal, but we'll skip over that. Jim, Joe Zelibor and I hung out, and frequently slept over, at my house so many weekends during and after high school we heard there was a rumor was that we were gay. What we were actually doing was playing cards, throwing frisbees in the street, and talking about girls, and listening to rock; too frequently lubricated. The Summer of 1971(?) after Jim and I were fired at a job he hooked me up with as laborers at a K-Mart in Fairfax, Jim Joe and I became a 3-man sheetrock crew in apartments getting paid 25 cents per 4'x12' sheet - it was hot, dirty and exhausting work which I survived thanks to Jim; the strongest among us, and his yellow Ford Fairlane. It was at that job where Jim decided to quit GW and work construction with a crew I believe he worked with for years, probably before he moved to North Carolina. Joe (deceased too from a motorcycle accident) went off to college after Oakton, so from 69-72 (after which I left for college in Washington State) Jim and I shared many two-man adventures - Jim in his top hat and long hair partying in Georgetown, a wild weekend with Jim's brother and sister-in-law at a retreat/former monastery outside Boone NC, several rock concerts, a hot Summer afternoon throwing frisbees on the Shenandoah River, romances and breakups. Jim and I helped his brother Joe pack his car as Joe left for Woodstock. Jim and I once whistled catcalls, from up in a street tree, to GW college girls outside a DC bar - one of many memories the two of us created but which, by 1987, Jim had lost. I'm grateful to Joe Zelibor for staying constant as Jim's friend, but I'm sure Joe's death was a major blow to Jim as it was to me. I visited Fairfax in 1987 unexpectedly and the three of us we got to hang out, but it was apparent that Jim's treatments had robbed him of all our old memories, and I've grieved ever since for losing the Jim I knew and loved, while hoping he found peace with his family once he moved to NC. Jim's lovely mom and I had a fantastic chat that long Friday afternoon in 1987 when we waited for Jim to get home from work and meet Joe for dinner as they did every Friday night. I stayed with Jim and his girlfriend that weekend and we had a lovely time together - the last time I saw or spoke with Jim. I tried to stay in touch with Jim, but once Joe Zelibor was killed, my link with Jim was lost and I couldn't find him among the NC James McCarthy's. I am glad to hear that he got his BA from GW, as that must have meant a lot to all of his family and to Jim. in the hope Jim too planned to attend his 50th high school reunion, my alumni search this morning for "Jim McCarthy, Oakton" popped Jim's obituary. I hate to end this ramble, because I hate to say goodby to Jim again. He was a gentle, loyal and cherished friend who will always be loved, and is therefore deeply missed, by all who knew him as I did. I hope he died in peace. Any feedback from friends or family would be welcome. Love you, man. You'll always be in my heart. Craig "Chip" Ward 9714044858

I am still having a very difficult time with loosing my father I was certain he was going to pull thru this....he has always been a strong willed person! Full of life and always joking around. Being raised in a family of six girls (no boys) was a priceless experience that I will always cherish. Having my dad as my principal was a challenge for me yet a special memory as well❤️ I imagine it was the same for my dad..I have so many happy memories of growing up with my dad....camping trips...Drive In Movies..Halloween parades...summers in Silver Bay, Lake George with my Aunt Adele.. our Volkswagen Van...trips to my grandparents house in Connecticut..but as life takes each of us on different journeys it did for George as well... Helen now had the task of keeping the family gatherings together. She and George did a wonderful job and we continued to have our sisters reunion every summer..keeping the special bond that’s sisters have with each other Dad I miss you terribly and still cry when I realize you are gone I am happy you lived a long happy life that you can be proud of just as I am to be your daughter ‘‘Goodbye and Godbless’’ Until we meet again.... love you Forever Debby Hepbron Rawdanowicz

You will be missed but never forgotten. I have many memories of us hunting and shad fishing on the Cape fear river. Rest in peace BROTHER.

George – was the grandfather who believed in imaginary pets (when our dog passed away when I was younger), he let the grandkids “style” his hair, he let me map the course for a 3 hour road trip across eastern North Carolina (I was under 10 years old)….we may have taken the back roads and a lot longer than needed, but that was George - full of love, life and laughter. For George family was always a priority and him and Helen opened their home to organize family holidays, summers for the grandkids, or organized family and sister reunions. George touched so many people in his life in such a positive way.

I will miss you Uncle James Alfred. With loving memory.

Nancy was, is and always will be my “big sister” even though I out-distanced her by height by several inches, which I didn’t let her forget! A younger sister needs one or two perks. I have so many fun and funny memories of Nancy from our younger years, including my dad fishing us out of the Chattahoochee River just before sunset after Nancy talked my mom into letting us do a late afternoon “tubing” float through a north-metro-Atlanta section of the river. Not the best idea she ever had, but it was an adventure. After so many challenges later in her life, I have come to appreciate the saying “rest in peace.” Nancy, I hope you do truly rest in peace. And for her beautiful daughters, may Nancy’s memory always be a blessing to each of you. I remember Nancy telling me, after my first daughter was born, that life, when you’re a mom, does not get easier, but it gets better. I hope, Megan and Lisa and Kim, that you can take her words to heart. Your mom would want to know that you are living your best lives and continuing to be the wonderful sisters that you are to each other. We will all miss her, but we can let go of the sad, over time, and embrace the best of the Nancy we were blessed to have in our lives. Thinking of you all on today’s Mother’s Day, May 9, 2021. Love to all, Aunt Jan

Terry's last two years at Iowa State were my first two. We shared those two years at the Phi Delt house at Iowa State where Terry served us all well as the house manager and head fixer of broken or unworking things for a time. I will always remember Terry's open friendly kindness and willingness to help others when they needed it. He was one of the best examples of the kind of person we should all try to be.

God gain a wonderful soul. Aunt laura loves you

Daphane , mark and Anna . I love you all. God gained a beautiful soul we will surely see again. My prayers are with you. Aunt laura

God gain a beautiful soul. My heart and prayers are with daphane, Anna and mark . I love you ... aunt laura

I will always remember my Grandpa George for being a fun loving man, full of life, ready to enjoy every single moment. I can not picture any memory or moment with him where there was not a big smile on his face and love pouring out of his heart. He was always so full of joy, laughter, love and life. George made Christmas so special as a kid with all of the cousins. George would always find fun activities for all of us grandchildren to do and he made sure to show love and attention to each and every one of us too (17 cousins)! That’s a lot of love to give and George was the perfect man for the job. I am grateful for the recent memories I have had with him over the past few years, as well as the bond he had with my father John and the influence he had upon his life too. He loved his 6 beautiful daughters so very much and taught me so much through his heartfelt dedication. It is no surprise that each of his daughters (my Mother Debby and my five wonderful aunts) are just a wonderful and loving as their father was too. His legacy lives on in the lives of his 6 beautiful daughters and all of their families as well. We are so very blessed for George’s roots and influence in and on our family tree. His girls are a direct representation of who he was, I am blessed to have 5 aunts and a wonderful mother who embody the best pieces of George too, including his great big heart! It is so comforting to me knowing that his girls were the ones there with him by his side day and night comforting him, and lifting him up in love right up until the very end. Loyalty and love runs deep in the Hepbron family and it all stems back to George. Forever grateful for the blessing of his earthly spirit, and now forever grateful for the blessing of his Heavenly spirit too. I love you George. Until we meet again, in Heaven..

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family of Gavin.

I was so sorry to see this news. Ed was a wonderful volunteer at the Arboretum and a great friend. I so enjoyed working with him. He will definitely be missed by many!

I was sadden when Jeri called me and told me of Terry’s passing. Terry was an extraordinary coworker. Terry's knowledge of being a professional helped me during my position as a supervisor. Terry was a good teacher, friend and will be missed.

Such a sweet boy

I remember how cute he was the moment he came in to my life. Perfect baby boy

dear jeri, our thoughts and prayers are with you and family. a great life well lived and touching many in a memorable and enriching way. Always positive in spite of his on-going battle. we're sorry for your loss. YITB, Brownie: Fondly, Bob and Chris

Dear Coby- we miss you dearly- such a short time to know you but you are forever in our hearts- will always remember your version of "Love Shack". You were a dear friend and welcomed everyone into your world. A true aviator of the heavens. love, Sharon and John

I first met Terry when I was working in Egypt and Terry would pass through Cairo on business. Because he was such a warm and genuine person, I immediately felt I had known him forever. I feel so fortunate that Terry has been my friend for all these years. I will miss him.

I always admired Terry for living a fuller and more adventurous life than anyone else I have known personally. He lived life on his terms, saw the world, and made the most of his lifetime, including giving to others. There is so much in this obituary about him that I never knew before, probably because he was too modest and humble to share all or most of it. I will also add that I was always impressed with his loyalty and devotion to his father Paul and his family in general. I will always remember him, as I also do his parents Paul and Margie.

Leigh was one of the sweetest people I have ever met, not only did she raise my best friend but she was always so sweet to me and treated me like I was her family. I never heard a harmful word come out of her mouth. She had nothing but kind words to say about anything. I was lucky to know this amazing women. She loved the lord so much and lit up every room she walked into. My prayers go out to all of the family, she is truly going to be missed. I love you Angela and mark and all of the family! We are here for you in anything you need. Heaven gained one amazing angel. Love y’all very much

Angela and family I am so so sorry for loss. Leigh was my friend for 51 years . We were so young when we met but always stayed friends. Leigh was a beautiful person inside and out and was always willing to help in any way. I met her when she needed a babysitter for Angela I enjoyed babysitting. Our friendship was special. I am heartbroken. You always think we have forever, but we don’t Love and keep your family close. Rest In Peace my special friend ❤️

George was a very bright and clever man who loved his family very much. He seemed to know a little bit about evrything and was happy to converse on any subject. He was very witty and i am extremely happy that his jokes were worse than mine.

It was a pleasure to be your colleague, Andy. You were so special. Always helpful, kind and loyal. You will be dearly missed. Rest in peace.

Terry was one of my best friends in high school. We went to Iowa State and roomed together in West Gate dorm for the first quarter. We then pledged at Phi Delta Theta and remained close. I will miss him and treasure the many memories.

Praying for healing in this time of loss. May you always cherish the memories of your Mom and keep them close to your heart. Angela, if I can do anything, please let me know

I never had the honor of meeting this sweet soul, but I know how much she meant to her daughter, Angela, she must of been one special lady. May she Rest In Peace and take care of her loved ones left behind ❤️ Love you Angela! Let us know if there’s anything we can do for you.

Pam and I shared many many fond memories with Terry and Jeri. . We grew up in Cedar Rapids, IA, attended WHS together, joined Phi Delta Theta fraternity at Iowa State, and stayed connected through the years.Terry was always a positive force in all our gatherings. Our memory of Terry will last forever. Love you Terry.

Wendy and Jonathan, I will truly miss Tony, I am so lucky to have had him and the both of you in my life! I have grown to Love Tony and Wendy in the past four years!

Tony left such a strong mark on the lives of so many who were lucky enough to spend time with him. His intelligence, kindness, and sense of humor made for an impressive combination in a man of character.. How can we ever forget the twinkle he got in his eye when he told a joke or was just pulling your leg? Wendy and Jonathan, our hearts go out to you in your grief..

If anyone has any pictures of George or would like to record a voice recording of a fond memory with him, im putting a special video Collage together for him. Please feel free to send anything - pictures, memories, videos, to me at [email protected] My Grandfather, my friend... GEORGEY PORGEY... the youngest 93 year old to ever walk this earth. You taught us all how to enjoy life. You were my best Golfing Buddy, the reason I play (and you always beat me even in your late 80’s... hitting the ball straight down the fairway every time) And That was George... just like his Consistent Golf game, he was consistent in life. You always got the same George. George was the definition of FUN. I’ve never seen George mad or sad... George never dwelled on the negative, he just lived and lived well and when he walked in a room, the room got brighter. You have 12 grandchildren and 19 grandkids who all saw you as a Celebrity - who all loved your company. You can’t say that about a lot of 90 year olds. George could make you smile just by looking at you... there’s more I can and will say one day... But George I think about you Everytime I’m on a Golf Course. Your legacy will live on forever in your 6 strong daughters and their families. I think we’re all just so happy we got to call you our dad, Grandfather, and friend. And I hope there’s 1 day old black Coffee for you in Heaven - LoL - I’ll never forget how you always drank a coffee that had been been roasting in a 90 degree car overnight. Just one of a thousand funny memories I have of my very special Grandfather We love you ‍♂️

Ellen was such a bright light. No matter what she was carrying in her heart and in her soul, she never failed to smile. I loved her voice, it was soft and soothing like soft butter. I will miss her, and I send all my love and prayers to Tyler, John, Lee & Denene, and all in her circle.

So sad to find out. Condolences to your parents and relatives!

This was one of the most gentle caring woman I’ve ever met . Her memory will never leave my heart ! Rest well sweet woman until we meet again .

George was a fine man who was devoted to his wife and family. He was also a good friend. Jsck and I spent many a Monday night at our special booth at K38 on taco night He will be sorely missed.

Jon and I want to offer Helen and George´s girls our deepest sympathies. We always enjoyed our visits with them in Wilmington reminiscing of our New Jersey days. We will miss him. Our thoughts are with you. Robin Wright

What a lovely tribute. She was a remarkable woman. I will continue to pray for all of you

Ellen and I would text in the middle of the nite when she couldn't sleep and be sitting on the porch.

Sometimes we get special lights in our lives we're just not allowed to keep long. But what a gift to have known them. She had such a lovely smile. Mylove and prayers to you all.

Sometimes we get special lights in our lives who we're just not allowed to keep long. She had such a lovely smile. My love and prayers to you all.

So very sorry for your loss. I didn’t know your daughter but as part of WPA family, I find myself crying with you all Love to you and your families.

Sorry for your loss! Condolences, great person!

Geaorge, Andy, James and I are so sorry to hear about Rose. We are so use to seeing George on his bicycle ride by the house. Anything we can do for you please let us know

Terry was always so kind, especially to my kids. I so clearly remember him bringing a kite to Ein Suknha for Raya to fly. He managed to get it up in the air with her, but her attention was stolen by the ice cream vendor. I recall he had a good laugh, then flew that kite himself, enjoying every minute. I'll always smile when I remember Terry.

Sorry for your loss. Loved when he came for Sat night pool league. Great person who will be sadly missed by a lot of people.

So sorry for your loss.

Our condolences to the family. Loss is never easy but love carries us through. Love you, Kevin and Carmen

Denny you are gone too soon. If only we could shoot one more game of pool, it could be the one where I might finally beat you. So many memories, and stories, and good times. I am at a loss of words. Such a great person you will truly be missed. As I think you would say “Katy bar the door”. Until we meet again…

I remember Ellen as a child running around at Lake Gaston. She was a beautiful little girl. And from her pictures I see she is also a beautiful young woman. My thoughts and prayers are with her entire family. ❤

Praying for strength and comfort for the entire family.

I fondly remember his wide smile and love of life. He did what others dream of doing; he lived life to its fullest.

Such a warm, funny, witty, women. Fly high Ellen. You will be missed by so many. ❤

So sorry to hear about your loss. What a wonderful man he was. I remember all the Broad Run parties.

Love hearing all the stories from Ryan, Kippi, and Stephanie of all the fun memories they have had with their father over the years! Very special family!

Sorry for your loss may there be peace in your hearts.

Didn’t get to meet him but I have the pleasure of knowing his Son Ryan and Daughter Stephanie and both are wonderful people. He will be truly missed by all who loved him. God Be with his Family

I have only fond memories of Carlton St. in Leesburg. All of the McGiverins are an integral part of that. In all sincerity, Rest In Peace, Mr. McGiverin!

So sorry for your loss, lots of good memories in high school with your family.

I miss you sweet girl xoxo

Maelyn I know it's been awhile and I know you're reading this. I just wanted to say how much I love and miss you. By the way I am the cousin you were named after your first half of your first name is my middle name. Love your Cousin Arianna Mae Hall

Thinking of your family, Miss Craig. Love you

My condolences go out to you. He was a very nice man.I can remember watching him play pool at your old house on 9th street. So very sorry for your loss

Sending my condolences to the entire Craig family on the loss of a loved one. Such an accomplished life and a great love story that has come to an end. Wishing you peace.

Dear , Melissa and family: Our hearts ache for you in the loss of your son. We have never experienced a loss so tragic as this, so we can only imagine what you must be feeling. We pray for you hearts to heal and to find comfort. Jake was such a wonderful young man, so full of life and promise. He always provided a positive example for everyone around him. We are crying with you and our hearts are mourning. May you find peace and comfort in the knowledge that he is now with God, that he is in no more pain, and that he has received his eternal reward in heaven. The Lord is closest to the broken hearted. (Psalm 34:18) Love, Charletta (Rush), AJ, & Alan Wilson

Wendy & Jonathan - I am thinking of you both with love. Tony was a remarkable man.

I am so grateful that I had the honor of meeting Jean at basket weaving in Jabez Kentucky. Her engaging smile and true interest in others was evident in seconds of meeting. We connected instantly and I felt as if we had known each other for many lifetimes. She had a real gift of making others feel relaxed and comfortable. Jean, your gift of friendship is one I dearly cherish. I know our paths with cross once again. To Jean’s family, may you embrace your happy memories to carry you through this time of loss. Jean was a true treasure! Honey

Granny Jean and Ralph, two of my favorite people. Mere words can not express how much she was loved. She was the Gran Dame of the Bahama Mamas. She was loving, kind, and gracious and let you know when you messed up. A beautiful Southern spirit that compares to no other. She will be missed greatly. Our hearts go out to Ralph and the family.She flew away peacefully with those golden wings.

Tony was served the first pint at the Beer Den at Lowe’s Foods in Brunswick Forest. It was there that he became a great friend and fellow beer enthusiast. I will miss our weekly conversations and I lol forward to sharing a pint with him when we are together again.

Melissa, You and your family have my deepest condolences. Lifting you and your family up in prayer today and all the days ahead.

Paul, Melissa, and Bella, There are simply no words to express our sadness for you all at the loss of your sweet boy. From little boy to young man, Jake was always so kind and funny. His happy go lucky personality would always shine through. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love to you all at this terribly sad time!

Peace be with the Taylor and Watson family.

I always loved seeing Mr Hepron and his beautiful dog when they would come to Walgreens. (I always wanted his dog, lol) He was always such a sweet man.

My heartfelt sympathy for the tragic loss of your precious son. I was Jake’s kindergarten teacher and I remember him as such a happy little fellow, a real sweetheart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family for God’s encompassing peace and comfort to surround you and sustain you today and in the difficult days ahead.

Sending my deepest condolences for your heartbreaking loss. I was Ms. Delk’s TA in Jake’s K class at Eaton. He was the sweetest and most fun little guy who always loved getting dirty at recess! Jake had a sunny disposition and was so good natured. I do remember him talking about his little sister all the time - he loved her so much. I’m sending prayers for comfort and peace for you all at this indescribable time. I hope that knowing how much Jake was thought of eases some sorrow.

Jake's name was something I heard daily in my house if it was him over spending time with Gus or Gus yelling at him thru a headset gaming. When Gus was struggling with a few issues in California I would call Jake and ask him to rally the boys and help Gus stay on course and he would! He was Gus's bestfriend! Gus sent me a quote last night he said Jake lived by this all the time "those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum!" We will so miss Jake but I have told Gus and Sophia he will always be a big part of our lives even though he might not be here to spend to with us he gave us a lifetime of memories. Please know Jake was truly Loved by our family!

I am so sorry for your loss! I am Jakob’s automotive teacher at CFCC. I wish I had more time to have known him better, and seen him graduate from CFCC. Please let me know if there is anything I can do!

I can’t believe it. Thank you so much for everything. You saved my butt more than once. I will miss catching up every few years friend. I definitely would have hugged you a little tighter the last time if I knew it was going to be the last time... may you Rest In Peace “Sam” until we meet again

Paul, Melissa and Bella...there are no words to describe how sad we are for your loss. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this most difficult time.

Sorry for your loss. Sending prayers of comfort for the family.

Melissa, Paul,and Bella, We are heartbroken for your loss. All I keep thinking about is a kid covered in dirt always ready to play. We have some great memories of Jake. We are praying for your family during this difficult time. Much love and hugs to you.

I am shocked and still can’t realize it Mel! I am so sad to hear about your tremendous family loss as there is nothing harder than to lose a kid. My deepest condolences to you and your family. You are in my heart and my thoughts are with you all. I am sure that Jake always will be with you in your thoughts. Be Strong and God Bless.

Pappaw, It has been a month sinse you went to be in heaven with Jesus. I miss you soo much. I will always tell your story on how God saved you and broke all your chains and you are in his hands. I am thankful for the dreams I have of you which just give me a peace. Thank you for all you did for me ❤

I remember how much he loved cars and that was something we had in common. I remember playing Forza with him on the Xbox and talking about cars while we played. I remember going over to his house one time and looking at his set up for racing games and how he had the Ferrari steering wheel and stick shift. I was a little jealous of the set up because of how cool it was. After I moved away for school I didn't play as much Xbox with him and looking back, you never really know or understand how precious a friendship with someone is until they're gone. My heart goes to you, Mr. and Mrs. Mclaughlin and your daughter. I am praying for y'all and pray that God will strengthen and comfort you in this time of hurt and pray that He will show you His plan in all of this.

This is from his close friend Kevon Jacob's stationed at 29 Palms, CA. He is heartbroken and send condolences to Bella and You both

He was precious. Always smiled at me. And he would ask me the most random cute questions in the back yard, picking cherry tomatoes. I didn’t know until now that his birthday is June 5th. Mine is June 8th. Kindred spirits in another world. My heart breaks for your family. Melissa, Paul, and Bella. I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss and our family is thinking of you all.

How very sorry I am for your terrible loss. You and yours are in my heart and prayers. May comfort and peace come to you.

Paul, I am saddened to hear about the loss of you son. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you and your entire family during this difficult time. God Bless, Ernest Clark

Jake, my second brother, I love you with all my heart and I’m so glad that I got the opportunity to be like a big sister to you. Thank you for being the best friend to my little brother that you could be. You always made me smile and laugh, I’m gonna miss you just walking into my house and you sticking your fork in the jambalaya I made and me forcing you to get a bowl, I’m glad you really loved that stuff (only thing i could ever make) You always light up every room you entered, and put a smile on everyone’s face.

Frances was one of the most amazing, compassionate women I have ever known!! What a special blessing she was to anyone fortunate enough to cross paths with her. Memories of just some of her kindnesses would fill a book. We love you, we miss you -- Thank you for being my friend!

I remember Tony because it always felt good to be in his company. His sun shone on everyone around him. He was a good friend to my parents and I'll be forever grateful for that. Very sad for your loss Wendy and Jonathan.

Mel, I cannot begin to express how shocked and sorry we are for the loss and grief your family is experiencing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and our hearts.

Paul, Melissa and Bella words cannot express the sadness and hurt that I feel for you all. I am so Sorry for your great Loss at this time. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. A life taken way to soon. May God grant you Peace and Comfort in this difficult time. RIP Jake till we meet again.

My sincere prayers and sympathy for all during this different time of loss.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your amazing son/grandson. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless and keep you all.

Wishing eternal peace for Andy, and comfort to all of his family and friends. May his memory be a blessing in the days and years to come.

Kathy, Jane, Phil: sending you my love at this very sad time. My dad loved Aunt Allene and I carry such fond memories of her and our times together when we were children. I’m so glad I got to visit with her a couple of times in the last 2-3 years. She was beautiful, warm and fun, and clearly a loving mother and grandmother. My thoughts are with you all. Xx

Jakes smile lit up the room when he walked into it! He was always happy! The last time I saw him he was demolishing Cassies’s kitchen! He is lighting up heaven and will always be your special Angel! All of you are in my prayers, I too have an Angel in heaven. Connie(Gus’s Grandma)

My sincere condolences on the passing of Allene just want you to know that I am thinking of you all and sending lots of love and strength your way. I have such fond memories of our stay in North Carolina (hard to believe it was more than 30 years ago) seems like yesterday...to this day I still remember with great fondness the beach house you organised, morning coffees, sailing boats and staying with Allene in her house and being treated like royalty...and then also when Allene visited us in Australia. I was only just talking with Kay last week about her trip to America when she met up with Allene a couple of years ago and how well Allene was doing still living an independent life. Rest In Peace Allene...a life well lived.

There are no words to express sadness and pain in my heart. We had special bond with you Andy.... Rest in pease my dear friend. My deepest condolences to family, lots of strength in this difficult time.

Our sweet and precious son-in-law, Andy, is now walking on the streets of gold in Heaven. Our hearts are beyond broken. We should be comforted in knowing Andy is with Jesus. Jesus said Himself that He would leave us a Comforter. So, I know He knows the tears that have been shed and the brokenness we feel on this earth without our sweet Andy. We love you, Andy. Max, Dianne and Christy Phillips

Guys, our hearts are broken with yours. We’re so sorry. He is dearly missed. We love you.

We love you Jake our Son from another mother ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I knew Carol for many years and a bridesmaid in her and Larry's wedding. We worked together at the National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters. I hadn't seen or spoken to Carol in a long time, I guess we lost touch. She was my first friend when I started working at 17 years of age. I am so sorry for not keeping in touch.

Paul Melissa and Bella, Words can not express our sadness!! Our deepest, most heartfelt condolences are with you and your family! Praying for all of you ❤️❤️

Paul amd Melissa: Words can not express my true sadness for you all and your family. Lease know I am here if you need a shoulder. Prayers and love to you all.

Jeff and family so sorry for your loss , our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family

Dear Jana and Dilip , Our sincere condolences to you and all of auntie s gr children and dear ones . She was such a vibrant and beautiful person inside out . I really enjoyed the little chats with her when we were privy to your gracious hospitality . Unknown people , but all of you went out of the way to make us feel at home . And most of all I remember auntie s tip on making good wholesome curd and Ot still practises the exercise she showed him to help with his back . Yes , she was a gracious and beautiful person . I hope and pray that all of you will find solace in the lovely memory of dear auntie whose heart of love we experienced even in the short time we were with her . With love and warm regards .

I am so sad to hear of Andy’s death. I didn’t know Andy that well but what I knew of him made him someone important to me- he made his husband happy and added immensely to Jeff’s life even as Jeff added to Andy’s. Because Jeff is a long time college friend, Andy became a friend as well. On the occasions I met Andy and got to know him over time, I was struck by his passion for friends and good meals and travel and airplanes and days on the water and political debates- struck, in short, by his passion for life. I also learned that Andy had little time or patience for foolishness, bigotry, or idiocy. Both ways of living are vehicles for Grace in this world. Godspeed to you Andy as you enter a blessed rest. And Jeff, may you be surrounded with love in the midst of this deep, deep loss.

Classmate, WHS Class of 1972 Lifetime friend, you will be missed.

You have touched so many lives Andy! All of us are better people now because of you.

I only knew Franny for a short period of time through her daughter Jane. After meeting her I felt like I knew her forever. Franny was always interested in what was going on in the other persons life instead of hers. She had such a kind, funny, and pleasant disposition about her too. All three of her children took such good care of her for many years. Even though we will miss her dearly we will remember all the happy times we had.Rest in Peace Franny... we love you! Neil

Jane, so saddened to hear of your loss of your Mom. Heartfelt condolences to you, Phil and Kathy.

It's not goodbye, it's till we meet again. Our family chain keeps getting weaker, but we all be back together some day. May John fly high with the rest of the angels he was over great by all of us

I am so sorry to hear of Rose passing. We used to have such fun with she and George back in the day. Our thoughts and prayers go out to George and Andy. She was definitely one of a kind. She will be missed so much! Hugs and Prayers,.

My heart breaks. Rose loved me as a child and always made me light up. She and George bowled and played cards with my parents. I couldn't wait to be taller than her! Heaven has gained on amazingly beautiful angel.

Jeff and Family, my heart is breaking for you. Mine aches with his passing, but I am so grateful for the time I had with him. He was one the most amazing men I have ever known. The love you both shared was an inspiration to all. It was a comfort for me to know you and Andy were there to lift Maggie and family when I was not able to be there. It was such a delight to see the example you both exhibited to all who knew you. I'm glad to know that Andy is no longer suffering, though he always had his infectious smile on, hiding any pain. There was never a time when he didn't fight and work to make this world a better place. He will be missed by all!

Kathleen, your Mother was such a wonderful sweet woman. My life was enriched by having known her. Heartfelt sympathy to you, Jane, and Phil.

To Uncle George and Andy, Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your Family. My girls and I was looking forward on seeing Aunt Rose nonetheless I got the chance to know her in short span of time. I will surely miss her voice. Her kind words and encouragement will surely be instill. Rest assured she'll never be forgotten. She'll always be Mama Rose for my girls. I know we can't make your pain go away, but remember we are always here for you. We love you all.

When I think of Andy I think of someone who was inspiring and thought-provoking, multi-talented and had a powerful mind. I’m heartbroken his family lost him so soon. He leaves behind a strong impression, he will not be forgotten.

Dear Jeff, my heart is broken for you. When You and Andy joined Pearsall Presbyterian I looked forward to seeing you every Sunday! These dapper men with the friendly, handsome faces and smiles to beat the band!! That’s how I will remember Andy, beautiful inside and out. I pray he’s resting peacefully and smiling his amazing smile down at you! Love you.

Be with the angels....Aho! "your" Michael

I am VERY sad today and hope that there really is Heaven and that Andy is resting peacefully. Jeff-you are in my thoughts and prayers. Ask for anything if needed. I never met anyone that smiled as much as Andy especially in the face of adversity. Such a beautiful smile, beautiful eyes :) and a beautiful man!!

My prayers for the family. Such a wonderful lady, who always did for other people. The world truly lost a gem. I love you Mrs Thompson.

Jeff, I am so sad for your loss. Your PPD family loves and supports you.

Wendy and Jonathan, I am at a loss for words hearing of Tony's passing. Somehow it just seems we were all in spin class sweating away to music. I am sure such a time as this is a heavy burden and I wish you peace, time to remember, and time to heal and somehow restore your souls.

My dear Andy! I will forever miss you! You were an amazing human being! Rest In Peace. You fight was not in vain. Rest in the arms of God In Heaven

My dear Andy! You will be in my heart forever! You were an amazing human being! I will forever miss you! You are now at peace in heaven! Love you

Ron and I were best buddies at Tunstall High School. We were always hangin out together. People who didn't know us thought we were brothers. He went with my mom, dad, and me to the beach a couple of times. We played in a British invasion style band in the late sixties. Ron played bass. After graduation Ron left town and I didn't see him again until 2005. I always wondered where he was and how he was doing. He was a great guy. My condolences to his family.

Rest In Peace Sweet Andy.

My heart breaks for you all. Andy was so smart and funny. He will be missed terribly.

I'm so heartbroken. I'll cherish you forever, Andy. I'll carry my love for you in my heart til we meet again. Jeff, I have no words. I love you. All my thoughts are with you and the family.

Lighting a candle for you Andy, in memory of all the fun times... the Christmas parties, Jewell Pt parties, the weddings, jet ski/ boat days! Your smile will never be forgotten and we will miss you so much!

To hace a chance to meeting Andy was unique, having him at my place interacting with my Kids was a gift. We will miss you Andy! Godspeed you!

George,,We are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts go out to you & your entire family.You are all in my thoughts & prayers.Karen & Mabel ( from the bowling alley)

Uncle Ron was my favorite uncle. I remember once when he came to visit us when I was younger & he had a motorcycle & he took me for a ride on it. I thought it was the coolest thing! Have lots of good memories of him & always will ❤️

Such a wonderful lady. So happy that our lives crossed. My heartfelt condolences to all of you as you cope with this great loss.

We express our earnest commemoration to our beloved brother in law George Johnson and to our beloved Nephew Andy Johnson and to his Family on demise of wife and mother. May our Heavenly Father abundantly shower you all Comfort, Love and Blessings during this time of grief. Our deepest and sincere Condolences goes to all. We all Love you. From Alive Younger Siblings of Rose Erino d. Antonio & Family Domingo d. Antonio & Family Milagros d. Antonio Teresita A. Gedangoni & Family Alipio d. Antonio Jr. & Family

By shear happenstance, I wanted to check on Peter and his family. Peter and I were close friends throughout Jr. High, HS , college, and some time thereafter. Terrific athlete, tough as nails, never complained, loyal. I am truly saddened to hear of his passing. I have kept a picture of Peter, myself on a Outer Banks fishing from 1978. Always a favorite. My deepest condolences. I'm sure he was a wonderful husband and father.

What an amazing man! I certainly enjoyed our time together working on Kiwanis projects for the community.

Andy, I offer you, your family, and all who loved your Mother my sincere condolences. I wish you peace and calm during this difficult time. May your memories give you warmth.

Rose was my neighbor for years and she was so sweet and kind. Sending my deepest sympathy to her husband and family. She is gonna be deeply missed.

Kathy and family, I'm sorry to learn if your Mom's passing. She was always so sweet and fun with us girls at your pajama parties. And I loved to listen to her and hear her beautiful accent. Peace and comfort to you all.

Philip, my deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your Mother. May you always cherish your precious memories with her. God bless you.

Jean Sloop welcomed so many visitors to Poplar Grove, sitting behind an antique cash register in the Country Store with a large bubble glass of Boston Baked Beans that she would scoop into a brown paper bag for guests waiting to tour the house. She was a part of Poplar Grove for three decades, and she left an impression upon every single person whose hands were blessed by her touch. She read palms, but we think she better read the heart, mind, and spirit of a person, all their joy and sorrow, and in this way we were all touched by Jean. She will be missed, she will be remembered, and if we are lucky, on some enchanted evening, we will catch a glimmer of her spirit moving across the lawns of Poplar Grove.

Tony was always enjoyable....sad to hear of his passing

We will always remember our friend, Tony, as adding life to every gathering with his truly infectious laugh. He will be sorely missed, but our memories of the good times will live on.... So grateful to have have known and loved him.

I will Dearly miss Rose and so sorry to hear of her passing. I Loved the whole Johnson Family and have some of the best memories to hang to

Wendy and Jonathan, My condolences for your loss of Tony. Remembering his humor and wit brings a smile to my face. We are in Arizona or we’d attend his memorial service. Your Masonboro Harbour friend

Dearest Lakshmi Manni was a part of our lives for as long as I can remember. She was there the day we left India from Bombay to emigrate to the US - I cherish that photo. And her remarkably elegant presence, sage advice and sharp sense of humor lit up just about every important milestone or function in our lives ever since then. Manni always encouraged me with music and dance and always spoke her mind - something I valued so greatly!! In spite of her health challenges in recent years, she was spirited, fiercely caring about all of us, helping us cope with our own travails and losses - an absolute gem of a woman. May her beautiful soul rest in peace. Sending so much love to all who knew and loved her.

He was a hell of nice guy and good friend. Were going to miss him. Des & Doky Saffo

“Cover it in blankets,” she said. Lakshmi Manni even sent me a newspaper clipping about protecting my fig tree in Winter. “This is Texas Manni,”- I would tease her. The figs always came back in Spring. Year after year. Until 2021. They didn’t survive the epic freeze. Maybe if I had heeded Manni’s warning, the tree would still be alive? Maybe. I had to chop the tree down yesterday. Amidst the sadness of losing Manni, I noticed a flourish of saplings at the base of the old tree. So green, full of vigor, with a promise to bear sweet figs - for years to come. Rest In Peace Manni. Your legacy lives on ♥️ Kamli

A candle to shine for her, as your mother has shown for you all the years

Donna, I was sorry to learn of your mother's death. I pray you will find peace in knowing others are praying for you at this sad time. God bless you.

Dear sweet Jean Sloop, warm and loving to all in my family, and all who knew her. A true environmentalist, lover of mother nature, beautiful inside and out. Fond memories dating back to the days of Sassafras Farm.

My dearest Daughter Heather Nicole. Happy Birthday in Heaven. Big 36, I hide my tests when I say your name, but the pain in my is still the same although I smile and seem care free there is no one who misses you more than me. Bubba wanted to tell you he loves and misses you too. Also Happy Birthday. I know you are having a blast with Granddaddy and all your friends especially Jesus. I don't think anyone could top his birthday parties. One day I will get to see for myself. You better be holding me a place. Your so lucky No tears in Heaven. Miss and Love you. I don't even know how to put it all in words baby girl.

I wanted you to know that I wish you a Happy Birthday in Heaven. I know in my heart you had a blast being with Granddaddy and all your friends and especially our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I can't even imagine the party he had for you. I hide my tests when I say your name, but the pain in my heart is still the same although I smile and seem care free there is no one who misses you more than me. I Love you and can't wait till we are together again. Bubba says he loves and misses you and he sends a kiss and hug for your birthday. 36 today. I would give anything to see that smile again. Hope I see it in my dreams tonight. Love and kisses baby girl!!!

Ann, I am so sorry for the loss of your son Matt. I remember how proud you were when he joined the marines. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time.

The first time I met Granny Jean was at popular grove for her Birthday party realized that night I knew and went to school with her daughters so wild. What a sweet and wonderful soul!!! I lost my husband to cancer and she always sent cards and always had such uplifting words. Always loved to give her a hug and see her smile. She will be missed but I can see her smiling and loving all the kids she knew and now there babies. Much love granny jean you touched so many❤️

Bill was one of the nicest guys I knew and worked with at Prudential. He was known throughout our Group Sales Department as someone to emulate and look up to. He will be remembered by all of us with a smile and great memories.

I worked with John very closely with Cape Fear REALTORS & the Wilmington REALTORS Foundation for 14 years. He always had my back and loved the CFR Staff. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I am so sorry, John always had a smile for everyone! All of the family, you are in my thoughts and prayers for Peace and comfort..

I loved Granny Jean. Everything about her was magical. Her hugs were so gentle, and yet, so strong I didn’t want them to end. Enveloped in her arms was an exquisitely warm and gentle place to hang out. There was peace in Granny Jean’s hugs. When Granny Jean was talking, everyone leaned in because you didn’t want to miss a single word. She was kind to the core and her incredible soul energy had no boundaries. I will be forever grateful for the blessing of knowing Granny Jean. Wherever she goes, she will take her wonderfully magical light with her but, absolutely, she left enough here for all of us to hold onto. Sending peace, love and light to her beautiful family.

Sending our love and condolences from your Respess family in Terra Ceia. What sweet memories we have. So thankful our families were joined and enjoyed time together - especially those wonderful Thanksgiving meal get-togethers! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Know you will miss her very much.

Lakshmi Manni was one of the most loving, caring, and sincere people I have ever known. In her passing, I have lost a loving sister and a dear friend. She was always there for me, sharing good times with genuine joy, and supporting me through hard times with her soothing words of wisdom and love. Manni will always hold a special place in my heart. May she continue to spread joy and peace in her next journey…

My deepest condolences to Jean's family. Jean was truly part of the magic of Wrightsville Beach in the 1970s. Amazingly beautiful, both inside and out, she never met a stranger. I'll will forever remember my afternoons at the "Sloop-Shop", her warm smile, her laughter, and her wonderful, stories. It was a blessing to have known her and a privilege to have called her a friend. Fly Jean! Fly!

Bonnie, I’m so sorry to hear about John’s passing. It sounds like he had many interests and was a very kind and generous man. I know he will be sorely missed.

I was introduced to Jean by Deb Bowen years ago. I instantly felt a connection with her but who didn't? I always so enjoyed being around her. The main thing I will always remember about her is when I visited her home the first time she showed me all the cool things she had in her living room and told me that each treasure was a gift from someone. No matter whether it was large or small she loved each one and the person who gave it. The times I was fortunate enough to be around her she was fun.

I don’t even know where to start with my memories of Jean, except to say that my family was blessed to have been ‘adopted’ by her when she became Granny Jean. We all cherish the time spent with her and Ralph, as we look over photos of the Christmas holidays and kids birthdays Jean & Ralph were always in the pictures. She will forever live in our hearts and we will see her the next time around.

I am so gladto have, at least, met Ruth after her move to Wilmington. She was a lovely lady. I am sorry for your loss.

Bonnie and family, I am so sorry John was so engaging at our family reunion. Such a fun loving man, my heart is heavy in your loss.

We took over California after graduation. A miracle we even returned home. Nobody should have had as much fun as we did.I pray you found your favorite ride, the Tempest. RIP my friend

Daddy I miss U so much, I always will. U could not have left this world in any better way ... You left w Jesus. I’m so thankful U and Jesus love me and I will see U both, one day!

Kim, I just found out today about Mark. I am so sorry. So many wonderful messages about him and his impact on people’s lives. I know we’ve been out of touch for a long time, just wanted to reach out.

I have So many fond memories with Joanne. We grew up in the Bronx, and attended Lehman Hs together. She was a sweet and caring friend. Sending prayers of comfort for her family at this difficult time.

To a long time friend (42 years) and Co-worker (21 years). You and I don’t morn Dearh, we celebrate their lives. I have been so lucky and fortunate to have shared our friendship, companionship, loyalty and trust all these years! You will truly be missed by your family and friends, but you leave behind a great legacy, with Chris and Tracey and all of your friends and even brief Acquaintances. Everyone knew what was on your mind (sometimes without filters) but you also had the ability to listen and evaluate. I think you have been on the Board of Realtors longer than any member, which is a testimony in itself to your dedication to your profession. You will be missed my friend, and I will swear God took you first to avoid the troubling future, and you didn’t have to write something about me. Love you man and God Bless you and your family...

To a friend & great neighbor who will be missed.

John always had an inner joy that he radiated always....Cape Fear Realtors has loved a dedicated soul....God continue to bless you my man....

Hay Sharin its Cathy Hall. I haven't seen you in a long time, I did see Bob a while back and he is always the same sweetheart and so nice, like you're his best friend. I think you two are one of my favorite couples. So sorry to know I won't run into him again for a while but if I make it to where he is I'll be happy! And I know I'll get a hug! Take care sweetie you will too. Love, Cathy I know I am late w/this but Patsy just told me about him.

Lou and I send our condolences to both of you. You were so loving, kind and considerate of Ruth. May peace be with you.

I enjoyed working with Ned years ago at Unocal finding him knowledgeable, persistent, and saw an occasional smile when he enjoyed a funny story etc. We made a great team supporting the business units. And he loved to join us at the favorite pizzeria. May he rest in peace.

Sending heartfelt condolences to you, Nini, your families...and to the international film family he brought so much talent, passion, and life to. Much love to you, NiNi, across the miles.

Hey guy.... we’ve known each other since 1977, when we both were mere kids!! You were like my second husband (you looked, and were much sweeter, than Bob)!!! I respected and appreciated that you never took sides. You loved us both! Your humor, integrity, and sweet soul will always be close to my heart. God’s speed.... he got a good one with you!!! ❤️

I did not know John personally but I do know that he did an incredible job raising a great son. And ultimately that is the best legacy any of us can hope to leave behind.

Gail, Gretchen and I were saddened by the news of Bob's death. Bob was always a stand up guy who loved his family and would help someone in need. Our condolences go out to Robert, Alec and Sherril. we will continue to pray for you all in this time of mourning.

Veronica was a very beautiful, kind, and compassionate young lady. It was my honor to have known her. She was caring to everyone. I pray her family and loved friends find comfort during this time of great loss.

I am so very sorry to hear this My prayers and love to all of you

Bert and Bobby, so sorry for the loss of your sister. God Bless you and give you peace and comfort during this sad time! Love you both, Estelle Johnston

I've never met a man that loved his family more. Warmest of memories, including his British humor and cadence. He did smile broadly when hit with the right joke at the right moment. Miss him. Comfort and peace to his wife, family.and friends.

I Love you❤️

I was saddened to see Gary's obituary, so sorry for your loss. I only met him when I was a young boy (50= years ago) and only remember him by a nickname of "Tex". I am a great nephew of Cora and Leone Thompson. Please have a family member contact me as I have many pictures of Gary that I received when my uncle passed away. I would like the family have these. You can find me on facebook under Chip Hendershot. I live in Watsontown PA. I tried reaching out to one of Gary's sons on facebook but did not receive a reply as of this time.

You will be missed but always in my heart. Rest in eternal peace and I'll see you on the other side.

My condolences Pat. He is in the Lords hands and at peace.

So sad to read of Barbara’s passing. My years in the Pilot Club were brighter because of Barbara’s sweet smile and disposition. I join you in your grief. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family whom she loved so much.

Kim and Family, I am so sorry to hear about Mark's passing. I will always remember Mark as a kind, caring, fun-loving man who loved his family with all his heart. Prayers for comfort and peace for all of you during this difficult time.

I am sorry to read of Madeline's passing. My Dad, Wilbet Frazier was a cousin of her late husband. I am also sad that my Mother was not informed of her passing. I will let her know.

I'm so sorry to hear about my good friend Mark. God Bless you and your family. From our days leading Cub Scouts with Chris and Robert, you were always a true and loyal friend.

Dotty, Kathleen and Kelly, my deepest sympathies on Russ' death. I'll always remember how much he loved our dog Daisy, the reindeers he made, how he sharpened my knives when he and Dotty came over and his kindness and caring after my husband died. I'll miss him terribly, Love Darcy

We will miss Bill very much. Seeing Bill walking his dog and reading on the beach made Summer official in Chadwick Beach.

so sorry to hear about Mark He truly was a great guy

I'm going to miss seeing Don's quick, always sincere, smile at church. I'll miss his music too of course, it brings so much more to each service- but mostly I'll miss seeing him enjoy sharing the music. What a remarkable person, he will be so greatly missed.

Ned's dry sence of humor, playing "Pennies" the first Tuesday of every month, and his sometimes off color remarks will be missed. Know that you were loved!

I have such fond memories of Mark (My Cousin). I cherish the great times and fond memories while in Waynesville, NC at our grandparents house. I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers to the entire Clements family. Love, Mindy, Danny and Shea Bayreuther

Janet my heart is heavy for you as I read the passing of your son. In months to come I hope you can overcome the grief and cherish the memories you have of being his Mom.

Thank you Dick for all the memories in the canoe/kayak on the sound. We also have such fond memories of dinner parties when you were in Chicago! We are so lucky to have called you family. We now get to treasure Rose. We love you very much!

I have not talk to Earl in quite a while. I just found out today. I’m so sorry I lost in touch with Iva and Earl. He was a kind man and he always treated me as family. I remember all the great times we had as I was growing up. I will never forget him.

Prayers and hugs going out to all family members. May God wrap his arms around you two girls and help you both in your grieving process.

Prayers for comfort and understanding for your beautiful Mother. May God wrap His Loving arms around you all

My heart goes out to Thea and the Unitarian community who will miss him well. I will always remember his kind demeanor and endless energy, in his duties and love for Thea. May you gain strength and acceptance among your clan. Always the best,

We have treasured your friendship for many years. Rose, we care for you and pray for you and Dick's family. Much love, Joan and Ruben

There are many great memories of Bill at Pru, the Jersey Shore, the Hunt and the many social gatherings where Bill enjoyed being with all of us and earned the title "last man standing". I will miss his visits to our house at the shore and his kind, gentle nature. He will be missed but will remain in our hearts and surely will be remembered at our future get togethers. Condolences to Rosie and the family. With love, Carol

Lighting a candle in memory of Donald E. Smith. May his memory be a blessing.

We enjoyed Don's music at UUCWNC services, and attended a UU Open House at the home of Don and Thea. Don was a friendly and welcoming person, and we will miss him. We send our love and prayers of comfort and healing to Thea.

I have such fond memories of working at the Prudential New Jersey Group Office with Bill. He was intelligent, kind and funny. A Pru after work party always improved after Bill arrived. Condolences to Rosie and his family. Trish DeMallie

So unlike Bill to leave these giant holes in everyone’s heart. Always kind, fun, funny and ageless. We will miss you dreadfully and toast you often.

Mrs. Nancy was a Faithful shopper at Food Lion on Market/Kerr Ave in Wilmington NC. I met her there over 20 years ago when I was the Customer Service Manager. Her infectious smile was always on her face. During the COVID-19 pandemic I was able to reconnect with her, through “Your are Enough” outreach ministries. Weekly I would bring her a bouquet of flowers. She would have a space on her counter available for her flowers. It was a blessing to have known her and loved her! My heart is heavy, because I didn’t get the opportunity to say goodbye, as I just found out she passed away. During her death, I also lost a love one, and I have been out of town. My condolences go out to the family; please know that Mrs. Nancy will be missed! God bless!

Ronnie if only I had known we were living your last days there was so many things I wanted to say to you.when I took you to that hospital I just knew in a few days would bring you home you told me you loved me and you were not going back home this time I did not want to here that I am thankfull that I told you I love you over and over. Ronnie for 48 years I loved you and I will see you again to tell you I love you again I miss you so much I love you

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. This world has lost a very good man.

You were an amazing light and such a wonderful person. Always smiling and always kind. You are in our hearts and in out prayer and will be greatly missed!

Julian - sorry to hear about Mary passing. I pray that God will help you thru your grief.

You are second parents to me...Mark & Kim. We love you so much. The pool party you hosted for Dean & I the day after our wedding was probably the best day of my life...Thank you for everything!!! Mark you will always be in our hearts...

Mark was one of my favorite cousins growing up. As young children we played together at family get togethers. Though we grew apart in our teens as we were separated by miles, Mark and his sisters were dear to my heart. He always made me laugh and more recently on social media Aunt Doris and Uncle Capt. Mick, Teri and K.Kay and Mark’s family, I’m so sorry for your loss.

We are so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. Our favorite memories are those spent hanging out with you guys. Love and prayers Joe & Robin Boyd

Dina's wonderful smile and outlook on life will be missed by those church members who had the opportunity to do home visits and those who brought communion to her.

To the Clements family, we are sorry for your loss of an amazing man. Not only was Mark an amazing friend but he was also the closest thing to a Father figure that I've ever had I will miss him dearly. Mark took me under his wing when I was 15 years old and taught me lots of life lessons and everything about marine construction that I will never forget. My heart and prayers go out to all the family!

You are in my thoughts and prayers

Mark you will always be remembered and greatly missed. You were an awesome neighbor and friend and we were lucky to have known you. Rest In Peace dear friend.

Our condolences to the entire family It sounds like he left wonderful memories for all who knew him. Our prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear of your lost. Prayers to all the family.

So sorry to hear about Mark. Gary and I send our love to all of you!

Some of my favorite days were spent with you and your family out on the water. I am so grateful for those times. Love always, English Robbins & Family

Kim, Mark's Presence Has Been So Strong Amongst My Family Since Monday. I Know Mark's Presence Has Not Left Your Side and His Spirit Will Always Be In You.

Kim, we are so sorry to of Mark sudden passing, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Randy and Terry Lawhorn

So sorry to hear of Marks Sending prayers to you Kim and the family...may God comfort you all

I miss you already Grandpa. In times of doubt or times when I couldn't speak with my Dad. I would come to you for counsel and advice. To me you were a Second Father to me not just my Grandfather. I'll miss our little adventures into Wilmington to ride around town. Simply just get out of the house or find something to eat for dinner. I will miss our 4 way conversations just before you and Dad would leave for work. I will miss the weird and awkward humor we would create together. And lastly most of all I will miss your presence in the house. While the past 2 and half years have had its ups and down Grandpa. Not once did I not think we were all together as a family! I love you and miss you always - Your Grandson.

Very sorry to hear of Mark's passing. Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Sending many thoughts and so much love to the family. So glad I got to have great memories with Mr Mark growing up. Caught my first Spanish Mackerel with him and will never forget how happy I was to get a dollar for it! Sure will miss our little exchanges & conversations in the driveway when passing by. You all are in my thoughts.

Sending love and support to all of Mark's family in your loss. His was a light I will always remember in your beautiful family. Holding you up with strength and love in your grief in this time.

I have known Bill from Farleys Point for all of my life. He was also smiling and quick to laugh. It is impossible to think of Farleys without thinking of Bill. His passing feels more like the loss of a family member than the loss of a friend. He will be sorely missed. I am so sorry.

My brother from another we had some great times together ,You will be missed .

So sorry for your loss.

A GOOD Friend!

This is so sad to hear! Officer Matt was so kind when our house was broken into last December. He had such a calming demeanor, one I will never forget. I am so sad! Prayers for your family. You will never be forgotten.

Kim, Greg and I are so sorry to hear this sad news. We are forever grateful for the weekend we got to spend with you and Mark. We will continue to keep you and everyone in our prayers and if you need anything please reach out.

So sad much to young...our thoughts are with all of you.

Billllllllll!!! He will always be remembered as Billllllll! Parties at Chadwick Beach will never be the same. Bill and Rosie would walk across the street to our house, after a few Dark and Stomies, sitting outside to all hours of the night,laughing always. Our house, our parties at 56 Bay Way will never be the same! Billlll was one of the "good guys " and a true friend. He will be greatly missed. RIP!❤

I first met Barbara about 15 years ago, i became closest to Barb when I started picking her up for Church, Red Hats, and going out to lunch, it was my greatest pleasure being with her. I think Barb was the sweetest, kindness person that I ever had the enjoyment of being with. I loved Barbara from the bottom of my heart, I will always cherish each and every memory of her.

Kim and Family, My heart hurts for you all---Please know I have been lifting you all up in prayer and will continue to do so...May the Lord hold you close and sustain your pain with strength and love. Gods Blessing Always---Terry Santome Adams

I am so blessed to have had Dina Alberto in my life while living in Nanuet, NY. Many fond childhood memories of hanging out with our friends, and the Albero relatives enjoying Dina’s delicious Italian cooking. Sending my prayers to the family.

Thank you for always being there when I was in need , I'm going to miss you're humor and laughter. I will always be proud to call you my Dad.

Painful loss will seem less bad as time passes, Time may take the edge off acute pain but it does not heal it. Jack, Ann our deepest condolences on loss of your son we are phone call away.

Hey Rosie, it was so awesome having you and Bill as our neighbors in the tides. Bill was always a positive light in all of our lives. Every day he was out and about walking the dog and always has something nice to say. His smile and attitude were infectious. Always willing to share a story or a beer with anyone. I will miss his milk punch at the New Year’s Day party. He made it so special by stirring it with his hairy arms. St. Patrick’s Day parties were the best! You couldn’t ask for a better time with the coolest people in the best neighborhood. It was so sad when we found out that Bill was fighting cancer. I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you invited Carla and I over to spend time with Bill during his last days. Those days will always be in my heart and I am so happy that Bill was surrounded by many friends and family in the end. Bill will certainly be missed by many here on earth. It really makes me happy to know he’s now in heaven hanging out with Tim drinking red wine, laughing and looking down on all of us knowing one day we will all be together again. Thinking of you and the entire family during these challenging times. I’m glad he did not suffer and he went peacefully into the arms of God. May you be touched by goodness and grace and hold the memories close to your heart. Condolences from Russell, Carla and Ella

Kim and family I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot describe how I feel. Mark was like the brother I never had and Kim you’re like a sister. I will always cherish our fun in the sun and yes even the storms. Smooth sailing my friend. You will be missed.

I’m so sorry for your lose. Always have fond memories of our time on the boat fishing and just hanging out with you. You will never be forgotten my friend.

Julian and family. With deepest sympathy in your loss. God's peace to you. Sincerely, Nancy Bobowiec

One of my fondest memories was sharing a Dewar's Scotch at the Firehouse conference in 1999.

I just learned of Mike's passing a few minutes ago and I am devastated. Mike was like an older brother to me during my time at Seagate and is the one who was instrumental in my getting into emergency services. I'll never forget his dry wit and his extensive wisdom and for all of his friendship and support.. Betty, I feel so sorry for your loss and know it is shared by so many of us.

Our heart is with you Linda Rudy and Anthony she was an amazing women as was your father also. We will miss her dearly may God receive her with open hands and guide her to the seat next to your wonderful dad Carmine she will forever be in all our hearts love you guys very much

You were a wonderful aunt and my mom’s best friend. You loved to laugh and be with family. Your passing leaves a large in our hearts. Love you xoxo

Condolences to the family, Dina was always pleasant to be around. I will miss her. ❤️

My sincere condolences to Rosie and all the family. Bill was a wonderful person, full of life, and always made you feel welcome. From Pru days when he was a mentor without trying, to making the Hunt a special event, when you spoke with him, his attention was toward you. I am grateful for his friendship and for all I learned from him which will stay with me always.

My dear beautiful Aunt Dina, I will remember all those "Sunday dinners" with the family. Your smile would light up a room. We love you and you will be missed. Our condolences to Linda, Anthony & Rudi.

It's hard to describe how friendships grow with the people you work with, but over time you get to know the person, their family and what drives them the most. Bill always handled it all so well. Bill, thanks for staying in touch over the years and including me (not just in the work), but in the fun -- it was my pleasure to know you! Always in our hearts......gwen

I have a book full of memories from when Bill was growing up. My mother and his mother were best friends. Bill drove me to the church in my bridal gown to get married in Syracuse on April 13, 1957..

A friend indeed -- thanks for taking the time to keep in touch Bill & Rosie! May Bill's light always keep shining! Always in our hearts, Gwen

The twinkle in Bill's eye will be missed by all. It was special. Bill was always in the midst of fun at Farley's and it will never be the same without him.

What a great guy! I go way back with Bill to friendly summer days at Farley’s Point and college days on the hill at Cornell. All The Best to Rosie and the boys!

Farleys Point has lost one of its finest residents, a man who expressed generosity through his smile, good humor, and endless supply of odd tools. His water ski wipe outs attained legendary status, and who can ever forget the antics with spuds and accelerants? Rest in peace, my friend. Farleys Point will not be the same without you.

I knew Bill from his Pru days. He was a gentle and kind man. At company social functions, when he spoke to you, he looked at you and actually listened and thought about what you said, a rarity. Bill and Rosie were always a fun couple to hang with at conferences and social events to share laughs and good times. Most importantly, Bill did not advance himself by making someone else look small.

I was so sad to hear of Bill’s passing. Bay Way won’t be the same without him. He was a great neighbor and I always enjoyed our conversations. I’ll really miss seeing Finn walk him down the street several times a day. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️

I learned so much from Bill while working with him at Pru. I know some of us still remember the annual canoe trip that he and Roger hosted and it was always great to reconnect at The Hunt. My condolences go out to you Rosie and your family.

It was always the highlight of my summer when you all would arrive to Farleys point and make the trip to Pumpkin Hill! I am so thankful that I had the pleasure of seeing you at Treleaven and my prayers are with you Rosie and your family.

Such a kind soul, wonderful musician and friend. He helped us move and was a joy to play music with. I miss him.
