Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • Papa was a man who was true to his faith, and regardless of what I believe in I know without a doubt, that I was blessed to have him in my life. I knew him to be a loving, generous, good humored man. I have nothing but happy memories of my Papa, which is the greatest gift he could have given me. I miss him every day and I carry him with me in my heart always. - Posted by: Skye Strong (granddaughter) on: Feb 28, 2013

  • John Somerville was a good man. He was a hard-working, god-fearing man. He was honest, kind, and trusting. He's the standard to which I hold myself to when I think of what it is to be a man. I'm a better person for knowing him, I miss him all the time. - Posted by: Calvin (grandson) on: Feb 28, 2013

  • John Somerville was my grandfather. I called him papa. He was the most kind and gentle man I've ever known. I loved my papa as if he were my own father. I remember how he used to take us to church every Sunday and how I loved to hear him sing the hymns. I remember when he would pick my siblings in his Volvo..and he had his hard hat and briefcase always in the car. I remember the beautiful music we would listen to on the ride to my nanny and papas house. How he would sit in the same chair every evening and every now and then offer us grandchildren a chocolate from his desk. Bed time kisses and watching him shave and sing while listening to his radio every Saturday and Sunday morning. I remember how he liked his breakfast that my nanny would make. He loved toast and marmalade. Not a day goes by that I don't miss my papa. I think of him always and my heart hurts because he is gone. I know he is with The Lord. I know one day I will see him again. And I know he is watching over me and our family. - Posted by: Emily strong (Grandaughter ) on: Feb 12, 2013
