    I can't believe it's almost been a whole year without you Dad. I miss your advice and your reassurance and how proud you always were of my projects. I do my best to keep the humor and humility alive that you taught me. Thanks for all of the washers, and a few twenties wouldn't hurt either. Every treasure I find I think of you.

    Happy Spring Hon. Your favorite time of the year!

    I was so sorry to hear of Rich's passing. He was such a lovely, cheerful man and a great buddy to my dad. My favorite story is of the two of them getting a golf cart stuck in a ditch at the US Open. I only wish they had met earlier in life so they could have had more time to pal around together. My deepest sympathies to Dolores and the Sippos family. Chris (Stugan) Pitrone

    Hon, I will miss you so much, but I know it was God's plan to take you home without me. I got your message that you made it to heaven. Those flowers that fell over agaist the door was the perfect way to let me know. I will continue to look for your messages. We had a beautiful, loving & happy life, and you always took such good care of me and the kids. You worked so hard for us, and gave us all so much love and security, happiness, and priceless memories. I would never change a thing about our 62+ years together. I will always remember your courage and how positive you always were. You believed everyone deserved a second chance, or even a third one, you never judged anyone or held a grudge., you were so easy to love. As I said before, would not change one thing in our marriage, you made my life complete. Rest in peace my love with God,the angels, and all our relatives and friends that went before you. I will always carry you in my heart, until God calls me home and we are together once again. Love ya, Main, your honey. XOXOXO

    My favorite memory was playing golf at Wasatch Golf course in Midway, Utah. It was one of those days where none of us played that great but we had the best time. Mr. Sippos could always make me laugh when I had a bad shot. The beers we drank didn't hurt either! You can always tell the quality of a man by his son. There is a reason Rich is my best friend and I have his Dad to thank for raising such an amazing person. Rest well and know you have won the race.

    We will always remember Rich's loving and wonderful attitude. It was so wonderful when he and Dolores Ann would come to Florida and visit Mom (Frances Beiter Young). Mom and I loved to visit them when they came to Clearwater. We will miss him. With much love, Carol & Barry
