I am extremely blessed to have been raised in a wonderful, loving, family environment. I could not have asked for a better support structure than that which I grew up in. Mom and Dad were the best a person could hope for. I had two brothers and a sister who were fun, caring, and always there when I needed them; they provided me with a taste of home that has only happy memories. Dad, however, had severely limiting physical disabilities through much of his later years. My brother, David, not only provided the guidance, knowledge, and good times expected of a dedicated older brother, but often served as a dependable Father figure. Both David and Mary Ann devoted almost as much valuable time and effort to keeping me on a straight path as they did their own children. Their efforts are deeply realized and appreciated.
I will miss David more than I can adequately relate in words. His genuine concern for others was evident in the large number of friends and family who came to express a final farewell.
With great love and respect,
ERIC

I find writing this condolence/ eulogy very difficult as I sit here early this morning with tears in my eyes. I am going to miss my Dad so very much.
RESPECT: As a child and to this day we both had a very high level of respect for each other. I believe that Dad learned the true meaning of respect from the time he spent as a Marine and from his patents, Henry and Florence my grandparents. The meaning of respect trickled down from his parents to me, along with my brother, sister and my children. The respect that Dad had for humanity was clear throughout his life. As Mom would agree, no matter where they went people Dad knew would always stop and talk. A normal 15-minute walk through Wal-Mart would take Dad 45-minutes or longer as they strolled along each isle talking to everyone that he knew, he touched the lives of everyone he knew and he knew so many. I think he knew or met just about everyone in Amsterdam including surrounding areas of the city. During Dad?s life, especially in his long scouting career, I remember Dad befriending many troubled young boys that so easily could have turned to a life in the wrong direction but somehow Dad managed to turn many of these young men around, who today, are leading a life of respect that Dad instilled on them. On Wednesday during Dad?s viewing a gentleman in his 30?s pasted through our family before reaching Dad?s casket. The man shook my hand and said he was very sorry for our loss. I asked him his name as I did not recognize his face. The man said ?I knew your dad as a teenager; I lived down the street on Brookside Avenue. Your dad would always take the time to talk to me. My Dad was in prison and your Dad was like the father that I did not have. He took the time to make me a sling shoot and taught me how to use it. I always felt he was a great man for what he did for me and I always respected him for that?.
Mom decided that she wanted a small and simple funeral with just the immediate family. How, surprised we were to see the line waiting to greet Dad extending outside the building onto the sidewalk of the funeral home. The 30 or so chairs in the parlor did not make a dent in the number of people that attended his funeral on a Wednesday morning when most people were at work. I can only imagine how much more crowded it would have been had his service been held on an evening. He touched the lives of so very many.
Dad was a hard working man, I remember as very young child, Dad would get up early and head to work. He would always come home for dinner for the family but I remember many nights Dad leaving after diner to go back to work helping other people with their electrical needs, in many cases he did this extra work at no charge, he loved to help people. I know that money did not come easily in the beginning of his new family life but we always had a good meal on the table and Christmas and birthdays were always filled with joy and all of us seemed to always get what we asked for. I suppose the reason for this was because he was such a hard worker to provide these things for our family.
Of course behind every successful man is a good woman to help him along the way, that woman was Mom. These two people were united in marriage some 57-years ago and from the beginning they were inseparable. You would not find a better match and there are few marriages like this marriage. I know that life without Dad will be very difficult for Mom. Although Dad will be missed by all, Dad?s journey has just begun and he will be waiting for use with open arms when our turn has come. Until that time Dad, I want you to know how much I love you and how much I am going to miss you. My pain is deep, but I know that this pain will in time subside but my memories of you will remain with me for the rest of my life. Thank you Dad for the love you gave to me, the respect that you taught me and for the man that I have become today. My success in life is based upon the values that you and Mom instilled upon me. You always stood tall, straight and tough, as Marines do, right up until the very end.

Dear Clairmont Family,
I have many great memories of Dave at Camp. Sitting around the fire, listening to stories, burning wire. As I get older, I think of the past more frequently, and Dave and all of the Clairmont family are dear to my heart.

Grandpa was a wonderful, fun and loving man. He was full of adventures and stories and he will be greatly missed. I have fond memories that I will keep close to my heart always. One memory, which I think was our favorite, as he brought it up often, were the walks we shared as I was child to the lake in Delaware. Holding hands watching the ducks, enjoying the sounds and each other. I am so glad that he was able to make memories with my daughter, she has fallen for his love of painting and I will keep her interested in that forever. Remember all of the good times. May God Bless you Grandma and give you strength. I love you.
All of my Love,
Kimberly

Dear Amy: My sincerest sympathy to you and your family at the loss of your "poppy" and I know you will miss him dearly. We had many conversations about everything when I would see him while delivering mail to the house. He loved you very much and was very proud of you. I could see this in his smile when I mentioned your name and asked how you were doing . I hope you are still on occasion singing the theme song from "Annie" and when you do ,think of your "poppy" and the fond memories you had with him and that "The Sun Will Come Out Tommorow!" Love your friend, Henry

Well there are a lot of memories... he did everything for me and Im going to miss him a lot. I'm going to miss him being around to argue with thats something we liked to do or when he used to tell me stories about everything, and one thing I will never forget is that he knew everybody and then he would have to tell a story about how he knew them. It was fun and I will miss him sooooo much.
I love you Poppy!
All My Love
AMY
