Thinking of you more each day, I miss you so much. I miss your smile, your laughter, advice and antics. Miss times sitting by the fire and your stories, you did live life to the fullest and taught the rest of us how to live a good life. Had a cup of coffee in your mug today. Watched Paint Your Wagon the other day with Matt, we sang along with Lee Marvin through our laughter and tears. You are dearly missed. love you Vickie

Thinking of you today Mouse

Everywhere I look I see reminders of you
A coffee cup you left at the house. That I use now to remember the good times we shared in Qualicum Beach
The fire pit you and mom build that we use a lot and still say best steak was at ranch on your fire pit when you brought special wood for me because I wanted to try to cook on fire pit. You did stuff like that for all of us.
The blender at house. I still look at and remember our great shakes.
And the way you made max & cheese. Was delicious but took a long long time to make.

This world is one crazy place now to live. So much has changed in last few months.

But you made this world. A wonderful place to be because you touched so many hearts. Everyone I know has a great mouse story. I think we should get a book and everyone write there favourite mouse stories in it. Then if mom allows us to read it we could all have read how everyone was thankful to have you apart of their life.

Miss you. Love you lots
Brad

Mouse, based on your stories it's been a hell of a ride, you certainly made the best out of life. It was a real pleasure spending time with you, we miss your comradery, good nature, and advice, and will always be in our thoughts. Until we meet again around the campfire, rest in peace.

Grandpa Mouse

Everyone knew the man we called mouse
Married for 40 years to his beautiful spouse
Shared a wonderful life together with Fran
Mom loved and adored this amazing man

Always close together and rarely apart
Mouse couldn’t love mom more in his heart
She was his everything definitely his soul mate
16 days short of their 40th anniversary date

38 years old when he met Vic, Ed, Eilleen,Brad
He instantly when from single to a step dad
He treated and loved us as if we were his own
Mouse and mom made a house now a home

We learned many things thru out the years
Always there for us,in happiness and in tears
If you ever needed mouse he would for sure go
He did everything for us and never said no

Then grandkids & great grandkids came along
Always with a smile and story or a song
Mouse loved those kids with everything he had
He loved it when he heard hi grandpa or dad

Those kids made him laugh and smile a lot
Even when they didn’t listen or they fought
Grandpa it won’t be the same without you here
But in our hearts you will always be near

Mouse you did a hell of a job raising us
You as the teacher was an amazing plus
We will miss the man that we all called dad
We lost the best grandpa, dad we ever had

But we know you will still be in our heart
Even thou we are now further apart
You left a lifetime of happiness and memories
Everyone has lots of wonderful mouse stories

All our love forever and ever
Love Brad Jen and family xoxo
