A ship without a rudder, a soul without a mate that's me tonight. The porch lights are on so you will know we are all here giving thanks for the great husband, father, and grandpa you are and all the wonderful memories we have forever. Good night you sweet, sweet man. XXXXXXXX Joyce(aka Sammo)

Big Dad, from the days of putting me on your shoulders and carrying me to the kitchen table for your great breakfasts, to bringing us all down to Sodus for a boat ride, to supporting us all in what we chose to do, to teaching us work ethic at Donnelly Offset, I have to thank you, with all of the power my heart can bring, for being the most unselfish quiet leader I have ever known. Our Team lost it's best player , but through your spirit we are as strong as ever! We love and miss you BIG DAD...

Grandpa Donnelly, We are going to miss your smiling face and we will miss hearing your stories at Thanksgiving. We are truly blessed to have become a part of your wonderful family. Our thoughts and prayers are with Joyce and your children. With love, Rob, Georganne, Kate and John Bender

Jack: Thanks for being the best father-in-law one could ever have. You really don't know how much you helped me by role modeling the priorities of family, hard work, appreciation for the good times, being able to laugh at ourselves and enjoying all the children. Also, thanks for the greatest gift of my life - having your daughter as my wife and mother of my children. I hope to be as good a father-in-law for my daughters' husbands as you were for me. We'll have a hooter together up there someday.

Partying with John at his son and Betsy's wedding. He was a good guy and a great Dad. He was blessed with the fine family he and his wife raised. They don't make them like him anymore. I hope he and my Dad are looking down on us, smiling.

Dad - You taught me too many things to list here. Our life with you and mom has been a story book. My friends laughed and reminded me of the great times we had in Sodus. That made me feel good. I did not neeed any reminder. All are etched in my memory, weekend by weekend. The most important thing you taught me was that tomorrow will always be a better day than today. I remember all the mornings you woke me early to help you "get the supplies" after a tough day or night before. I will never forget you. I hope to drive the Lake Road with you again some day ! Until we meet again !! Your son -Danny
