One of the many memories I have of my grandpa is when I was probably somewhere between the ages of 6 and 10. Maybe a little less or a little more. Grandpa and I walked to some store in the neighborhood, not sure if it was an antique shop or what. But I remember grandpa buying me a black mailbox that was a bank. I used it for many years and it still sits on my desk. I am thankful that I have that memory and something to remind me of it. I Love You Grandpa and I miss you very much.

Dear Grandma,
I remember Grandpa and Crystal and I going to McDonalds, but on the way we will sing " on the road Again to Tippari." I will always remember Him. I will miss him alot but He will always be treasured in my heart.

Darwin was my Dad. He always put his family first, providing numerous life lessons (admittedly not all appreciated at the time), and memories beyond number. Not only am I thankful for that, but I am also proud of him for it. Seven kids (and a lot of various pets throughout the years), didn't make it easy.

Due to their parenting efforts, Dad and my Mom, Doris, raised a large family which developed strong family connections . It is that tight-knit family bond that carries us through times like these.

With appreciation and thanks,

I have known Darwin for over 50 years. At times he was a challenge for me, but for most of those many years I was a challenge for him as well.

Darwin is my Dad. Had it not been for his influence I'm sure I would've been on a very different, and much worse, path.

He took care of us all, without complaint, sometimes working three jobs and driving 60 miles round trip through any kind of weather, to do it.

Beneath a gruff, opinionated exterior beat a heart of gold who whould never hesitate to go the extra mile and much more for his family or anyone who needed him.

There is nothing I can say here that will truly reflect the gratitude and appreciation that I would like to express to him, now that it is too late.

If you love someone and haven't told them - don't wait.

If you have someone to thank and haven't - don't wait.

Life is fleeting and will not wait for us to do whatever it is we're putting off. Do it now. The time is coming when it will be too late.

I'm going to miss my Dad, but I'll bet he's keeping busy even now. (Probably pressing to install some kind of Heavenly Portico!)

God Bless you Dad and . . .

Thanks!##imported-begin##David Erickson##imported-end##
