Peggy, my thoughts are with you and your family during your time of loss. I did know your father, but what I know of his daughter tells me he was a wonderful man! Much love to you and yours.

Peggy, Jerry and Families,
I dearly loved Uncle Frank. The memories of my youth are filled with days in Frackville, including Uncle Frank's fun way of making you feel so welcome; i.e. throwing a bucket of water out the bathroom window as I walked through the alley. I can still hear his laughter.
The first time Connie and I came to Frackville together after our marriage, Uncle Frank made her feel welcomed into the family.
We were happy to have had the opportunity to visit with Aunt Anne and Uncle Frank in Florida. We will miss his warmth and compassion.
Sending our love and prayers to all of you and Aunt Anne.

Grandpa,
First, I ditto the words of my younger brother whom so eloquently wrote his feelings. I too have so many memories of you in my mind and over the past few days more have surfaced that had been hidden for years.
Only last week I told mom that grandparents are very important to a child?s self esteem. While the parents job it to discipline and correct. The grandparents? job is to make that child feel he can do no wrong. I definitely felt that way with you. You always placed me up so high that I felt I could accomplish anything. Thank you for that.
I remember when you would come for a visit and before you left you would always give us a dollar. It got to the point that we would ask you when you got out of the car "when are you leaving grandpa" so we could get our dollar. You then started giving us the dollar upon arrival.
I will miss your music ? when I came to see you in October. One of my favorite memories is at dinner when you sang "Way Marie" I wish I recorded you that night.
Today I ran a marathon in your honor. I felt your presence every step of the way. Yes, grandpa you and your bad knees finished a 26.2 mile run and we did a personal best time. I needed you towards the end and you were there for me. Thank you.
I always knew this day would come in my life and I never looked forward to it. You were such a big part of my childhood ? more that I think you?ll ever understand. I will always cherish those memories. I am so thankful to God for blessing you with a pain free death and I would have wanted nothing less for you.
I will miss our phone conversations, but I will continue to talk to you as I do my other grandparents who are with you now.
I love you grandpa,
Granddaughter Michele

Grandpa,
Your sense of humor, your zest for life, and your love for your family is something that you gave us forever and will be deeply treasured by our family. You have given our family many, many memories that will be cherished always. Even though our kids didn't see you on a daily or weekly basis, they have very fond memories of you that few great-grandkids can say they have.
You have always opened up your arms for us and always made us feel welcome.
It is so sad to know you are not with us anymore, but very comforting knowing that you have lived life to the fullest and now resting peacefully.
Love you and miss you Grandpa,
Mark, Denise, Alex, and Alyssa

Grandpa
Your life continues to be a shining example of how we all should live...even in death you guide our family in rightousness. Our assuredness in your salvation is an icon for the gift that you have given all who survive you, for we are guaranteed by scripture that you are in God's kingdom, and while your passing brings us great sadness, your new life in Heaven brings us great joy.
You touched us all in so many ways. But I cherish our times on the golf course, even though you beat me most of the time...your passion for golf was something you shared w/ your son Dad, who in turn passed it on to me, which I have now passed to my wife and children. I still remember our last outing together...it was at Mangrove Bay...the afternoon went something like this:
I muscle my drive 250 yds and hook it left...you hit yours 150 yds. "straight down the middle"...my second shot is 120 yds out and I put it in the sand...you hit your second shot 130 yds. "straight down the middle"...my third shot, I shank it and hit it over the green...your third shot, you roll it right up on the green within 6 ft. of the cup...we get out your stool/cane and you sit and chuckle at the spectacle to follow...2 mishits later I get on the green...you one putt for a 4...my first putt rolls past the cup only to nudge it in for a 7...in golf you showed it's not how far you hit it, it's how consistently you are "straight down the middle"...your life was that same model of consistency. Your love and devotion to Grandma, as well as your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren...your committment to health both physically and spiritually...to me, you just always seemed to be "straight down the middle".
Well, it has taken me some time, but that's how I intend to live my life...like yours, "straight down the middle", doing my best to stay clear of out of bounds markers.
Grandpa, I love you and I'm gonna miss you...but this is not a forever goodbye letter...this is just a see ya down the road letter...and when I do, we can go hit em "straight down the middle".
With all our love,
Paul, Kara, Derrick and Evan

Dear Jerry and Peggy,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I have many fond memories of Uncle Frank-taking me to the Elks when I was a kid; Sunday rides with Mom and Dad, and stopping in Frackville to visit your Mom and Dad, and then Uncle Frank taking me to Carvel for my ice cream treat. Later on, when I was in college coming home for the summer, and Mom always telling me "Uncle Frank was asking about you and he would love to see you". I would always try to get over to Frackville, and we would sit in the kitchen for some funny stories or words of wisdom. He always made you feel good, offering words of encouragement. He always had a smile on his face and made you feel like he really cared about you. He will be greatly missed, but we are all better people having some of Uncle Frank in all of us. Love, Buster

Paul,Kara & Mirocke Family,
Our time spent on this Earth is determined by God above.
When we die our spirit is freed like a beautiful white dove.
Live each day with love and compassion for all you meet.
Because God in Heaven is who you will greet.
People will be remembered for their actions on Earth.
To achieve status in Heaven and start a re-birth.
Grieve for their loss but remember they are home at last.
Forget them never because their memories will always last.

Dear Peggy, Your Dad Was a wonderful man. He knew how to have a good time and I enjoyed him so much when you and Lou were married. I especially liked his smiling eyes and gentle nature. I was so happy to see him and your mother again at Eric and Lindy's wedding. This is a sad time, but also a time to celebrate life, as he is really going to the life he has been preparing for these last 95 years. How blessed he was to have the family he had and all the good things that came his way. John and I will be praying for all of you. Our thoughts are with you. Love to all and especially your mom. Annita and John

Grandpa-
You were a constant guiding light to all of us. I'll never forget how you managed to find humor in even the most troubling situations. Your laugh still resonates in my ears. It?s a wonderful sound.
You taught me to laugh Grandpa? and how to make others laugh. You taught me early-on to always have at least one joke in my back pocket? just in case. It never ceased to amaze me how you always had another clean and funny joke to tell. One of my earliest memories is of you and I staying home from Church one Sunday morning, and you teaching me how to wiggle my ears. I recall that even Mom was amazed at our progress during this time together. I still to this day can get a laugh from others by displaying this most unique trick. Unfortunately, I have yet to be successful in teaching others how to perform this skill, but I have two kids with the potential genetic advantage to learn ? Thanks in part to you!
I'm so glad that you played such a big role in my life as I grew up. You'll never know how much that influence was present. You made me feel whole when I started my own business and you told me you were proud of me. I could feel you rooting for me every step of the way, and I was always pleased when you would ask about the status of our business. It was your entrepreneurial roots that I can look to and gain strength from, both when times get tough, and when we experience big successes.
You always made me feel so important, Grandpa. You'd always introduce me to your buddies with great enthusiasm and pride. You'd sit us down at the Elk's Club and make sure that we were well cared for... Shirley Temples never tasted so good as when they were enjoyed in your company. You'd always get the bartender to throw in an extra cherry or two, which was certainly the way to my heart! Those were ?the days?.
I'm so glad to know that you were able to get to know my family during the past ten-plus years. You accepted Lindy, my wife, as if she was one of your own. You made her feel so welcome... she refers to you as her own Grandpa since both of hers passed away at an early age. She came to know, through you, the love that only a Grandfather can offer. When you came to my wedding, I was honored to know that it would be and was the last time you would fly anywhere. That was very special to me, even though I may not have expressed it at the time.
Molly and Max are so special to all of us. They still talk about and pray for you and Grandma regularly. I was so happy to see you get to know them and experience first-hand how easily they offer their friendship to others. It was evidence of your warm and kind nature alive in them. Molly asked me last night: "Is Grandma going to take care of Grandpa?s lizard friends now?". I assured her that they would be well cared for, and that you would be well cared for in Heaven. I went on to tell her that they wouldn?t even have to ask you any questions at the ?Pearly Gates?, and that since you were such an outstanding person, they would just let you right in. My only un-communicated hesitation is that St. Peter may try to get you to provide some clarification on some of the many jokes you told about ?Standing at the Pearly Gates? during your time here.
I know you are there now and I know that you have a big smile on your face. I will miss you Grandpa, but this is not ?Good-bye?, it is merely ?Farewell?. For you will still be a guiding light for me, until I see you in Heaven.
I love you.
Grandson Eric
