I will forever be grateful that I saw you in walmart in early September. I told you I would pray for you and that your Mom and Dad would watch over you during these health issues. you said you would come visit us at the Pharmacy when you got finished with tests and surgeries. I will continue to pray for Heather, your kids, grandbabies and all of the Ross family. Y'all are some of the strongest people I have ever known. I appreciate the years of friendship and how you took me under your wing when I started BCHS in 1984. You were a wonderful person and will never be forgotten. You will always be loved and missed by everyone who knew you. I will see you again one day my friend.

Twain - You Will Be Greatly Missed By the Becker Family - We All Loved Talking To You. John told Me That You Told Him to Do You A Favor and Watch Over Your Son For You - at Practice Before Your Surgery. John and Our Family Intends To Keep That Promise To You. John Loved You to Death and Thought You Were A Great Guy and So Did We. You Will Be Greatly Missed But Such An Asset To Heaven And We Understand Why God Would Want You As Another One of His Angels. What An Honor To Be Picked.

Daddy, I cannot believe that this has really happenend, I just talked to you yesterday morning, Thank God that our last words got to be "I Love You" I'm so thankful that you gotto meet both of your grandkids, they are going to be lost without their T-paw! Especially Little Michael, not being able to tell you about the four-wheeler, and him fishing in the boat, Even though Eliana is only 1 she knows who you are, well and as for Michael & I it's never going to be the same whenever we go out to eat, you always made sure you had a Bud light! :) Michael always had a story to tell you about work, you'd always say that "I gotta get me one of those cars" But the worst part is not getting to wake up every morning and text you "Good Morning old man" and have you say "I'm not old, you can tell me that in about 30 years, good morning sweetheart" you always made sure that I knew how much you loved me, I want you to know that I'll always love you too!?
