Hello Doggy Daddy-- I still can't believe that you are gone. It still just doesn't seem real. All of us would give anything to be able to talk to you or see you again. I know that you are watching over the family. Zach just had surgery. He thought of you and how strong you always were. We call him our trooper, just like we called you. You showed us how to be strong and to never give up no matter how hard the fight may be. You are missed by everyone. You are thought of every minute of every day. Forever in our hearts. Until we see you again.
Love and miss you always, 
Karen, Paul and Zach

Hi dad....sometimes life stands still and it seems unreal since you've passed. There are days I miss you sooo much that I can't seem to function. We all have those days. Your wife misses you, your daughters miss you, your grandsons miss you and the list goes on. Your gonna have a granddaughter dad,due on Christmas Eve. My heart aches because I would give anything to see you hold her, kiss her and see your excitement light up the room once again. I would give anything to have so many moments just one last time. I love you with all my heart and always will. Jason loves his papa always and forever. Even though you are no longer here on earth with us, you are definitely always in our hearts and souls. Love you always dad.

Dear Dad-- Today is one year that you have been gone. I can't express how much we miss you. You are thought of every day. I just wish I could pick up the phone and hear your voice saying, "Hey Doggy Daughter". I miss our conversations and being able to pick up the phone and call you anytime I wanted to. It doesn't seem real. I would give anything to be able to have one more day with you. I know you are watching over everyone and because of that everyone will always be ok. You always fought and never gave up. You showed me how to be strong. You are an amazing man and will always be my hero. I know you and Grandpa are together watching over the family. We love and miss you very much. Until we see you again. Love always,
Karen, Paul and Zachary Arraial

My Darling Husband, I can't believe it has been a year since you left this world. Not a day goes by without my thinking of you or something will happen that makes me think of you. I miss you more than words can say, but trying to be strong for myself and the girls, and I know you would want that.

 You would be so proud of your girls.  Jaclyn is with a nice man, that treats her very well and they are having a baby in December, so you are going to be a Grandpa again. Jason is so excited about becoming a big brother, you should see his face light up when he talks about it.

Rachel is buying a house, very close to where we used to live in Palm Bay, and boy is she excited about it. Rachel is also with a very nice man who is madly in love with her.

The only thing missing is you, but we keep you in our thoughts, heart and soul every day and always will.

Until we see each other again, just wanted you to know how much I love you.

Your forever wife. XO

Dad...today marks a year since you've been gone. It has been a very hard year. Everyday you cross my mind. Mom, Jackie, and I came and visited you on father's day. It still seems so unreal. I miss you so much. 
A lot has changed in the last year. But they have been positive changes.  I think about you everytime I make a big decision in life. And I hope I am making you proud. 
I can remmeber growing up, and we were at the beach, you getting on all fours and barking like you were a bulldog!! Or you sitting on the floor, playing pretty pretty princess with me.  Those memories are so joyful to me and I will always cherish them.
Every day I battle tears when I think about you. I wish this was all a dream, and that we would wake up from it already.  I miss your voice and your smile and everything about you. You are the strongest person I know. Every battle life gave you, you fought like a champ. I am so proud to call you my dad. I love you more than anything. And I will see you again someday, keep watching over us. I love you dad.

Hi Papa, this is Jason. I just wanted to tell you that I miss you so much. Mommy and me are doing good, we are happy and safe. I know you're our angel. Im gonna have a baby brother or sister and I'm excited. I wish you got to meet them, but I promise I'll always show them your picture Papa. I wish I could see you again Papa. I love you Papa.

Hi dad, tomorrow it will be a year since you passed. It still doesn't seem real. Normally anniversaries are happy occasions,but not this one. I miss you so very much...Jason misses his Papa...we all miss you. Jason always thinks of you..nobody can ever compare to his Papa. Whenever he sees anything related to the Patriots, he immediately has to let anyone around know that," that's his and his Papa's team." I know that would make you smile knowing that. Thruout the past year, I constantly catch myself thinking about you. As my heart fills with pain and my eyes fill with tears, all I can do is try to take away the void by thinking of all of our happy times,all of our conversations out on the porch, hearing you call," hey J-Bird" on those nights I worked late...you would stay up just because you knew I was bringing you home your favorite candybar and it was "our little secret". Moments like this, I will always treasure. When I think about you,I promise that even though I will shed some tears,that I will always smile and laugh as well. We all love you soooo very much and we always will. Your memory will continue to live on. I love you dad....

Happy Father's Day to the best dad ever. It's doesn't seem real to even be writing this. I miss you more than words can say. We all miss you. Enjoy your Father's Day with Grandpa! Miss you both very much! 
Love, Karen, Paul, and Zach

I miss you so very much and can't stop the daily hurting, but I know you know that because you are in my heart and soul. I am trying to be strong and hard for everyone, but I am broken when I am by myself. I love you so much. Think of you every day, little things like your sayings you had, the way we woke up at 3am and had two hour conversations, the nice little things you always said and did for me, the secret smiles, playing zilch....the list goes on. No Pats games on tv, no Pats gifts under the tree this year, but I still have some of your Patriot clothes and items around the house. I am so glad that you are no longer in pain, but the selfish side of me craves for you.  I will try to be stronger. Rest in peace my beautiful angel, I will love you forever and ever. Your Cotton.

Merry Christmas Dad. Your on my mind everyday. Life isnt the same without you and I would do anything just to hug you one last time. I miss you, everyone does. You never realize how much of an impact someone has on your life till their gone. Thank you for watching over me. I love you forever and always and I can't wait to see you again. Give grandpa a big hug for me. I miss you, and I wear you and your pendant over my heart almost every day.  I love you

Merry Christmas Dad....I cant even write this message to you without tears falling down my face. It's as simple as this..life just isn't the same without you dad. I miss you sooo much,its unreal how much it hurts not being able to hug and kiss you whenever I want or need to. I think about you everyday, well we all think about you everyday. I sat by the river the other day for hours and it only seemed like minutes because I could tell you were with me. By the way, your Patriots are kicking butt this year but you already know that because you have front row seats. Merry Christmas dad, tell grandpa hi and that I love and miss him as well. Love Always and Forever, your J BIRD

I can't believe it has been 6 months. There isn't a day that goes by that you are not thought of by all of us. We love and miss you very much. Until we see you again. Merry Christmas! 
Love, Karen, Paul and Zachary XOXO

I went and visited you last week. Thank you for sending signs that you are watching over us. Your on my mind everyday. I love you . See you again

Happy Birthday Doggy Daddy/Grandpa! There isn't a day or moment that goes by that we are not thinking of you. You are missed more than words can ever express. Until we see you again. We all love and miss you very much!
Love, Karen, Paul and Zach
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

It has been three months since you have joined Grandpa. It feels like it was yesterday. I think about you and the great memories we shared every day. I miss our Sunday calls. I wish I could pick up the phone and call you any time. I know that you are watching over all of us. You are in my thoughts every minute of every day. I miss you so much. We will be together again someday. Until I see you again. Love and miss you dearly.
Love always,
Karen

We were very glad to have met you Rod, you made us very welcome when we came to visit. We shall always cherish the memory of the Indian River trip you arranged,and for the time we were able to spend with you and Linda , Rachel , Thel and Nick. The shells you gave us continue to remind us of that special day.

I miss you dad. Everyday your on my mind. The other day was the 2 month anniversary of your passing and me and mom both felt you in our presence.  Thank you for being my guardian angel. You mean everything to me. I remember you getting on your hands and knees at the beach and barking like a bulldog haha. You always had a good time no matter what and I look up to you for that.  Thank you for raising me the right way and making me the woman I am today. I am glad you are at peace and that your last memory was an amazing one. I am blessed to have you as my father. See you again one day. I love you

Thinking of you all the time babe and how much we loved each other. XOXO

Dad I must say that you truly were one in a million....I hope you know how much you're loved still to this day and by soooooo many! You've left an amazing lasting impression on literally everyone that has ever known you and that is helping me find peace in my heart now that you're gone. It gives me comfort hearing how just your jokes,positive attitude and amazing spirit made so many people happy just by simply being in your presence. That's not a quality that just anyone has. I'm proud to be your daughter dad. And that's exactly why I say that you always have been and always will be....ONE IN A MILLION. 
Love always and forever, 
Your J-Bird

It's been awhile since I've seen Mr. Rodweller (he gave me crap for calling him that).. but every time I saw him he was always smiling and having a good time.  I remember his bday one yr going with the family to celebration n sleeping over in the cabins.. It was nice to be included and was always welcomed.. That's what they do..they treat you as their own.  I'm sorry you were taken so soon unfortunately I'm familiar with that and my parents taken too soon..but you are out of pain and hopefully partying it up in heaven and watching over your family.  Mayyour family find peace and mmemories will help ease the pain.

Missing you see much babe, after 35 years together. I am just so grateful for being part of your life for such a long time and for the wonderful love affair we had all those years. You were a true gentleman and the best husband I could ask for. We went from wild and crazy days to days that I had to take complete care of you, but we both said our vows and meant it. Thank you for the way you were and thank you for loving me like you did. Ditto babe! Till I see you again, all my love,! Your, Cotton

Really missing you today dad..all of this still seems unreal. Your face,your wonderful smile keeps flashing thru my mind. Memories thru out the years keep replaying and I just want to thank you for being the man you were. You were the most unselfish person I've ever met...you always put your family first and you fought a long hard fight to stay with us. When others would've gave up,you fought even harder. I wish I could just hug you right now and feel your beard scratching my cheek. It's the little things like that,that I already miss the most. I love you always dad
Love J Bird

I will miss the time we spent together. I will miss swimming, playing zilch and hanging out with you. I will also miss you making me toast in the morning for breakfast. I will miss the way you made me laugh and talking about the Patriots together. GO PATS! I miss you very  much. I love you very much. I will always have you in my heart. Love your grandson, Zachary XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

It's so hard to accept that heaven took in another angel, but it did. Bob, you were such a great person to have in our lives from day one. You were nothing but a caring, loving father figure who loved everyone. You have been in our prayers since your battle started and just like you never gave up fighting, we never did praying. This world will not be the same without you down here, but we all know that you're watching down on us from up above.

I finally managed to narrow it down to these 2 memories....."my beautiful sexy wife deserves a beautiful sexy car!" the year Rod bought you the teal camero!! 
Linda:"what part of my body do you like the best ,?"
Rod"your hands because they are strong beautiful and capable.just like my wife!"
You two had a real true romance. Rest in your memories friend and just let me know if you need anything and I'll be on my way.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH!  I WILL ALWAYS HOLD U IN MY HEART.  I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WE HAD! I MISS YOU DOGGY DADDY! 
LOVE YOUR DOGGY DAUGHTER

Linda, Jacklynn, Rachel & Jason I know this is probably the hardest thing all of you have had to deal with, but I hope you take comfort in the fact that Rod was the BEST Husband, Father, Papa, Brother in law and friend that anyone could ever ask for.  He will be missed by many not least of all his Rhode Island family.  May he RIP until you all see eachother again!

Dear Linda:  My heart aches for you.  I know what it is to lose your beloved after a long illness.  I wish you and your family comfort and peace and my thoughts and prayers are with you.  Love, Peggy

Linda, I'm so sorry to hear the news of Rod earning his wings.  Corisa and I share so many incredible memories with you both, from dinners, drinks, dancing to Jimmy Buffet, dice, and Rod's ole saying mention my name and you will get a good seat.  You and Rod had such a special bond that was seen from miles away. Cotton always reminds me of Rod's pet name for you. :)  Our prayers are with you and the girls during this heartfelt time.  We pray for strength to get you through this.

I remember the first time I was introduced to Bob through Tracy and Eddie. He was instant love! A  cross between Jimmy Buffet and George Carlin. Funny as the day is long. Everytime we all got together it was non stop laughing ! So sorry this had to happen , Linda, you and him were like peanut butter and jelly.......treasure all the love you shared. Rachel and Jacqueline, you had one awesome Dad ! So sorry for your loss

My dear dear friend. You will be missed but certainly not forgotten. The memories I have of us as young guys will keep a smile on me forever. The things we would do just for the laugh, and there were many and the expressions on your face when we did, is priceless. The exclamation of "Oh Mountain" will stay with me till we meet again old friend. RIP Rod.

There are no words my friend... My brother in law..my great listener and advisor...will miss our phone conversations, with us comparing notes on many things... You fought the fight, definately.  One of the strongest men i know.  And truly a great husband to my sister, and a great dad, and awesome grampy, as well as a Amazing friend, no matter what, always a gentleman.  Will miss you more than words.  Our comfort is knowing you will no longer suffer.  Gone but never forgotten. <3

What an amazing man.  I have the fondest memories of Rod and will carry them with me.  Such a wonderful husband and father who loved his wife and children above all.  Rod and Linda you shared the most wonderful love, a love many never know.  You were blessed to have each other and I know that love will carry you through Linda.  Rod will always be with you, in your heart, your soul and your memories.  I am so very sorry for your loss my friend and I am here for you always.  Love to you all, you are in my thoughts and prayers.  El

Robert was my second dad for many years. He was the first person who ever called me Tina Weena. He was kind to me and generous, allowing me practically live with the family during weekends and summers. I can still hear his voice perfectly in my mind even though it's been many years since i moved away. Dad, you were a wonderful person and you will be greatly missed. Love forever...Tina Weena XOXO

Rod was one of those people that once you met him you loved him! He was kind and giving! He had a huge heart! It was so apparent that Linda loved him and he loved her! He was always in good a good mood! I know he is in heaven looking down at all of us with his new body smiling! Rod I will miss you and I will see you in heaven!

For a very special dad! Love you forever. Your daughter, Karen XOXO

To the best dad in the world! You were my doggy daddy! I have nothing but great memories of you and the times we spent together. You have been the strongest person I know. You were always strong and positive. You always kept the family positive. You were a trooper just like Grandpa! You had a kind and loving heart. Everyone that knew or met you, always loved you. We had a relationship that will always be special to me. You were always there for me when I needed you. You were a wonderful dad to all of your daughters and grandpa to your grandkids. You will always hold a special place in my heart. You will NEVER be forgotten and will ALWAYS be loved. I am glad that you are at peace and with Grandpa. Until I see you again. Love always and forever, Karen XOXOXOOXOXOXXOOXOX

Dad, you are the most amazing man that I've known. Your smile, your strength, your love has not only brightened my life, but also everyone who has ever known you.  My heart hurts that I will no longer be able to share laughs with you, or even a simple hug...a hug that was always so dear to us both, because sometimes what we can't say out loud was understood by a simple hug. However, I'm glad that you are not in pain or suffering anymore and I know that a part of you will always be with me. Your love will remain in my memory, my heart, my soul...but most of all in my strength. I thank you for just being the wonderful man & father that you always were to me. For every talk that we've had over the years, there is one thing I just want you to know...I was listening every single time. I love you always and forever dad. 
Love your daughter, your J-Bird, your Jaclyn Marie❤❤❤
Ps- Go Patriots!! I know that would make you smile:)

To my dearest husband: Thankyou for being my best friend and partner for the last 35 years. God took you so early, but I know the pain and suffering you have been through over the last few years, and I am glad you are at peace now. I will always love you. You will be In my heart and soul forever.  Your loving wife. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
