Father, you were one of a kind, you always had some sort of project that you did around the house and you were a very clever man, who taught me a lot, your life lessons will remain with me for ever, you taught me how to ride a bike, wrench on vehicles, work with wood, and build things, you have always been there for me and now your gone, but you will always remain in my heart. :(

I will always remember you father because I’m your Darrell, thank you for giving me your middle name as my first. You will never be forgotten, tell mom I miss her as well, and I think about her often, don’t worry about me your little boy is going to be OK. Thanks for everything POP, you did a great job.
Until we meet again

My name is Robert Silva, Norman Bradley was my uncle he was my fathers brother-in-law who married my  fathers sister Mary most of my memories are childhood memories of a kind gentle man who always had good things to say to us I can remember him being so tall with the  bluest eyes I’ve ever seen he was a skilled craftsmen who made us all wood rifles that  looked authentic  and although I hadn’t seen him for sometime he attended my brother’s daughter‘s wedding and we sat down and he told us how much He admired my dad and that they were good friends as well as brother-in-law‘s they both had mutual  respect for each other I have good memories last time I saw my uncle was just before his death  it had been many years since I had seen him and he looked at me with those blue eyes and told me we were all good kids  I regret the time that passed without seeing him but I never stop loving him  he was a good man kind and loving May he rest in peace with all the family angels in heaven Bobby
