Claude Konqui:
respect to a very fine and gentle former pen- friend and friend - Radu Culici was my pen friend from Romania when we were around 14 y.o to 28. I met him later at my home in Switzerland as he was already living in the United States. Time passing and personalities changing while both becoming adults, we gradually lost sight of each other and I was very shocked and sad when I learnt he passed away at the early age of 46. Born in 1954, I am by now 70 and never forgot the freedom of thought (very courageous in Ceaucescu's Romania) and the gentleness of Radu. May he rest in peace. With all my respect to his family and relatives.
Pasquale Mele:
School - Daisy was a school mate during the years i attended school in Mt Vernon. Remember one time when we were young, I was being picked on by a bully in the school, for i was small for my age. She jumped in between us, and she was a tall girl and made him back down.
Many years later my cousins visited our church, the two girls had to use a rest room and stopped at a open establishment to use a restroom and happened to run into Daisy, they got to talking and the girls told her they were my cousins and she said to make sure they tell me they were asking about me, and she was wondering what ever happened to me because i left when i was a junior in high school and moved to florida
Linnea Wells Cashmore:
Memories of my Dad, Delbert Martin Riepe. - My Dad had a hard life likely all of his life, though I don't know a lot of his childhood years. I do know that he always wanted to be a farmer, which Dad pursued for many years though true success at it eluded him. He loved his wife and children and always brought his paycheck home for us. He was a quiet person most of the time, but loved to chat, joke and laugh in social situations with extended family and friends. My cousin Steve once confided that Dad was his favorite uncle because of his entertaining sense of humor. Also, Dad loved to tease Mom and get her to laugh, which all of us kids enjoyed. When my Dad got cleaned up with the help of Brylcreem and Old Spice shaving lotion, and dressed up in his best clothes I always thought he was so handsome, resembling Ronald Reagan. Those occasions were rare because he worked from sun-up until past sun-down, coming home exhausted. I don't think Dad got the full respect he should have gotten from we three kids while we lived at home, in part due to the hold that alcohol had on him which sometimes caused problems at home between him and Mom. I'm sure our neglect must have hurt him. Dad stuck with all of us, and I'm very grateful for that, especially since Mom loved and really needed his help once her early-onset Alzheimer's Disease showed up. When Dad and I parted in 1975, we didn't know we'd never see one another again in this life, but that's what happened. He's living in Heaven with Mom.

James Weathers:
We Miss you everyday dad. - What a great life you made for all your family. You were a success in every meaning of the word. The traditional family vacations,Picnics, Christmas memories, Surprises, Laughs, Family projects, and the Ethics and Morals you installed in all of us. You have been gone 38 years and we’re still learning from you. I’m not sure where you learned all you knew and we miss you everyday. You were a great example to follow and one day we will all be together. Pat and Mom are with you now and I’m sure you are still taking care of everything. Thanks for being my dad and for doing and giving all you did to make us happy. You never met Barb but I’m Positive you and she will get along great when that day comes. She’s a lot like you. I can still see you laughing at the kitchen table and cooking the meals while we were on vacation, adding our beloved Pets into the family. You gave so much to make us all a real family.
I miss you and your always with me. Jim
Sheila Bunch-Wilson:
My Dad - My dad was a fun loving dad. If he liked you-you knew it. If he didn’t like you-you also knew it. He was a jokester. In his own way he lived my brother, sister and I very much. He wanted the best for us. He would tell us stories of when he was young. I heard them probably a million times, but would live to hear them a million more.
Ann May:
Dr Dull - Dr Dull was my OB-GYN and delivered my baby in 1967. She was an amazing doctor and very professional but also treated each patient with the greatest care. Very concerned for each of her patients.
I would have continued under her care but I relocated in 1998. Her staff was the best I was only 20 when I became pregnant and her nurse Peggy was a precious motherly type I could not imagine going through my pregnancy without her.
I wish I had known of her illness and her passing. I will always remember her for her gentle nature. I lost my mother when I was 18 and Dr. Dull certainly got me through my most joyous time ever and yet sad because I wish my mother could have been with me.
Dr. Dull you were an angel and still are God bless you now and always you certainly impacted many lives and the Kingdom. God created you for such a time.
I have two beautiful healthy grown daughters and 3 grown grandchildren and I count my blessings everyday.
Fond memories and blessings,
Ann May
John Civick:
A Physician - Paul E. Hoffman was a Colonel in the United States Air Force but he said they gave him that rank but he earned the title of physician. He was a WWII veteran and served his country admirably throughout the years.
He was my supervisor but also a good friend and I learned many things in our conversations.
