A mischievous glint in his eyes, a smile that made me smile, a laugh that made me laugh and the occasional snack when it was to be had. That is the way I will remember ‘Dad’. A happy go lucky guy with a heart of gold that could always make me smile when he peered the top of the wall and said “Where’s Trouble”. A Dad to many and a friend to all. - Posted by: Sharon Remillard (Friend) on: Nov 01, 2006

My dad's tool box is a lot like him. Sturdy. Been through a lot. Made for hard work. Held more inside than you'd ever guess. Sometimes, he'd ask me to pass him a tool, and I'd know what he knew... how it felt to set things right, to make things better, to care. Over the years, my dad's toolbox has gotten heavy.. heavy with memories. Shiny. Timeworn. Each perfect in its way. Memories that a dad makes... of things set right, of a world where two hands and a good heart still make a difference. Thank you for being our and teaching us how to make a difference. - Posted by: Robert Brissette (Family) on: Oct 31, 2006
