Thank you Judy for such kind words. Dad loved getting together with the group...he always had fun.

Judy and Joe,
Thank you for remembering my Dad on today, Veteran's Day. He was a proud member of the Navy and would have very much appreciated your kind words. Today he would have talked about where he had traveled, his time on the LST 887 and his visit with Lefty to the USS Constitution. I miss him every day. Love you both.

You are with us always in spirit,  as so often in our conversations we say, Tom would have loved doing this or going here.

Miss you every day Dad...you would have been 84. I miss hearing your voice, seeing your smiling face greet me when I walk in and talking with you about my projects. It's hard to believe it's been almost 3 1/2 years since you've been gone. It was too soon Dad...just too soon. I love you and miss you more than you could ever imagine.

Old pictures of our Tennis Group!  Those were some of our best
And fun times  The crazy things we did on/off the Court always
Brought smiles to our faces! always remembered, Judy/Joe

You would have been 85 today Dad. We would have gone to Turners for some oysters and cherrystones or you would have come over to help me with some project...then we might have thrown something on the grill and relaxed. Of course, Mom would have made a chocolate cake for you....your favorite. How I miss your voice, your hugs..I miss you every day. Happy birthday Dad, I love you. Cathy

Dad, it has been 5 years now. It seems like it was just the other day we were sitting together in the kitchen having coffee, talking about this and that. I hate that you're gone...I hear your voice so often. Every time I make coffee and weigh the beans on the scale, I hear your voice say to me, "give it a minute" as I wait for the numbers to settle. I miss you every day. Love, Clariss

Dad, it was 6 years ago today that you left us. I remember driving to the house that morning. I couldn't get there fast enough. I just wanted to be with you even though I knew you were gone. I wasn't ready for you to leave but I believe you were ready to go. I'm reminded of you every day by some little thing; a tool, a sign you made, the Silvertones, I miss you and I love you Dad, Cathy

Happy Birthday Dad. 87 today.  I recreated your workbench in my basement. So when I go downstairs, I can stand in front of the bench and look up and see your coffee cans, your styrofoam sheet with your pencils, razor blades and other items you kept there. I feel you there with me. I miss you Dad, and I’ll be forever thankful that you were my Dad. The greatest Dad ever. Love, Cathy

It's hard to believe it is 7 years now that you've been gone. So much has happened since then. I know you're watching us all as we continue to move through life without you. I miss you Dad. What I wouldn't give to sit and talk with you again, do a project in the basement, or have you come over to help me with something in the garage. I love and miss you more than words could ever say.

It’s been 8 years now. I miss you every day Dad. What I wouldn’t give to pick up the phone just to hear your voice. I’m reminded of you every day, touching your tool that now rests on my bench, doing a project we’d do together, or seeing the cardinal at feeder. These things keep me close to you. I Love you Dad, and I know you’re with me always.

Dad, it’s been nine years and I miss you every day. The silver ball marker you carved for me all those years ago I carry in my wallet. It reminds me of  so many moments shared with you. You’d be so happy that the Silvertones are still playing. What I wouldn’t give to hear your voice again. I love you Dad and I know you will always be with me.

Happy heavenly 90th birthday Dad. I can’t believe it’s been almost 10 years since you left us. We would have gone to Turner’s for oysters and chowder, played some golf, and would have surprised you with a visit from your grandson. I miss you every day dad.  You were the greatest Dad a girl could have ever hoped for. You were my biggest fan. I Love you and miss you more than words can say.

Hi Dad, it has been 12 years now. So hard to believe. You are with me every day especially when I fire up the table saw, do something at the workbench, or create a tool out of zip ties and duct tape. The Silvertones are still going strong and every dance reminds me of you. I miss you every day Dad. Love, Clariss

Candle lit  by Cathy MacPherson on July 8th, 2026

Happy 93 heavenly birthday today dad. Wishing you were here so we could go out for some oysters maybe play some golf or go for a ride up to to Nubble Light just for the view.
You’re missed every day. Love you dad.
