Dear Dad
I will miss you very much. You were my Teacher and father and someone that I could Talk to and the first one to lend out the shoulder to cry on when my life got really hard at times. or just to hear me gripe about life.
You will always be in my Heart and on my mind. Go easy on everyone up there and we will see each other on the other side one day and we can catch up.
I love you. Your Son always Jerry
just to say i am going to miss your jokes & the times we went fishing when i was a kids plus going back to oklahoma to meet your family.
love you dad john
Dear Frank.
I just want to say that i am going to miss your jokes especaily on our wedding day when you told your son john to shove the price of cake in my mouth that it was big 7 when you would call our place & say mouth can i talk to john & i would say yes just one minute
Dearest Frank! I’m so glad that I had the chance to meet you! I will never forget our first meeting – who the **!!@@* owns that Ford out front. I’m so blessed that you were able to meet your granddaughter Paige. I have good memories of you in the short time we spent together – poker night, arguing about how you were not sleeping in our recliner – telling you to go to McDonalds if spaghetti wasn’t good enough – all in good fun! I’m blessed to be with your son Jerry. Rest in peace and keep everyone on their toes as I know you will do.
Love you dad! Toni
Grandpa,
Oh I love you so much! I am so sorry that I took your life for grantite…. I should have visited you 🙁 You always came this way to visit, and I was too dang busy or it just seemed to dang far 🙁 I apologize for my selfishness! Thank you for coming to my wedding… I did it right this time Grandpa, I truly am happy and I know that you would just love him to pieces. You being there meant the world to me and I will forever cherish the picture of you and I from the wedding. I hope that you have found peace and are surrounded by loved ones. Please watch over me and my soon to be family. Aubrey Kathleen Fulmer will be born at the end of July and I will make sure that she knows how amazing her Great Grandpa was. I love you more than I can say in words. Thank you for always being here for me. I miss you tons already! Xoxo. Your #1 Runt, Melissa
Uncle Frank we love and will miss you, but we know you are with Grandma, Mom and uncle Wayne. We remember the time you said you were feeding the horse and tried to feed the hay to the tractor when you were about 18, you were a little tipsy at time. Rest in peace “goat’s butt”.
We love and will miss you

Will always remember the good times when he would come and visit us in Arizona, and when he would call us up and always pretend to be someone else when we were kids trying to fool us we eventually caught on to his pranks and realized it was just the “goats butt”, trying to fool us again.
He will be missed
