With Love, Stacy Mann ROSE YOULOVSKY Greatly missed and loved by Your friends and your family. Dave, Ferne, Wendy Jack, Matt, Jordan Melissa In Loving Memory Of Our Dad ROBERT G. "BOB" BURBANK Excerpts from his eulogy: How do we measure a man after his journey on earth has ended? What qualities or acts are used as a yardstick of his success? Do we measure a man: By his Spirituality Religious Beliefs? Our Dad was a faithful man, a devout believer in the teachings of Jesus Christ. He lived according to "Love thy neighbor as you would love yourself" He would go out of his way to help and befriend anyone in need. By the Friends he makes in Life? Our Dad had the greatest friends and they were many.

Some he knew since childhood and some ust a matter of weeks. But how did he do this? What was his secret? Perhaps it was his friendly nature, or eagerness to learn new things, or meet new people, or his zest for life and many varied interests? No, it was more than that. It was his genuine care and concern for people. Not just the fun times or parties, but also the tragedies and hard times that we all go through. Not a false friend, but someone you could truly count on.

We believe that was his true secret. Yet we reap what we sow and his care and concern was returned to him many times over by his wonderful friends. By his Acts of Charity Kindness? Doing electrical work for friends neighbors Helping others obs in the elevator business Participating in Community events: Boy Scouts Troop 105 and CYO Hoops Helping build and wire St. Elizabeth Seton Church. There was no limit to the acts of charity and kindness our Dad would perform.

By his Lovingness Devotion to Family? Our Dad was a loving devoted husband of 44 years to our Mom, Antoinette They shared all the joys, happiness, and hardship that life can offer together till the end. His last breath was uttered "I Love you His love for us, his children, was apparent to all who knew him. He was always there for us. No was too great. We owe much of our success and happiness in life to both our wonderful care.

love support extended well beyond his immediate family to all his relatives. And still we reap what we sow as all his love and caring provided support during his last days. Yes, these are all measures of a ourney thru life and by these measures and many more our Dad far surpassed the yardstick of a successful life. He has through his qualities, actions and love set for all of us a shining example and a standard by which we can strive for as we continue our journey thru life. So as our Dad walks thru the paths of heaven with our Lord, his spirit will continue to guide and touch each of our lives as it has and always will.

In Loving Memory of STANLEY MIDLIN A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Love from us all. In Loving Memory of DERWIN E. SCOTT May 23, 1947 Oct.
