Dad.. It's been four months since you left us. Miss you soooo much. Not to sound selfish , you were bigger than life to us. From Charles Altus to the story of the polka. You made us laugh ! You had away of bringing us together. Now Father's Day is almost here and most likely going to be the worst, but I must tell you, bad and good times... I'm so proud you are my Dad!!

So sorry for your loss. Happy was the perfect nickname for Uncle Happy, he was always happy. As far back as I can remember he was always smiling, I never seen him without one. Haven't seen you in along time but thought about you often. Love you, Rest in peace.

My heart goes out to each of you over the loss of a very unique, loving and "happy" person. I have many memories that are stored in my heart of our childhood days with Uncle Happy, Aunt Kathy and all of our wonderful cousins. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. My deepest sympathy, Debbie Green Belford

I was so sorry to hear about Happy's passing. He was always upbeat and friendly, and always made me feel welcome at family events. He loved his family and I am sure found comfort in all of you at the end. My prayers and heartfelt sympathy are with you all.
