dear tim and scott, dean called me the other day, but i have been living in a suitcase till i find a place to rent. I found a place today 6/10. i know larry is not sad but i am, and i believe you guys are too. i liked your dad while we were growing up and i learned to love him as i became a man. i learned his terms on life. Christ in the center. you guys are blessed sons. the only thing he could take to heaven was his children and he made sure we heard the gospel and grew up in a good church. the Psalmist said precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints. maybe larry and albert are visiting. if Christ comes soon we will all be together again. i sold vinnies pizza and moved to houston to be with stephan. i will miss you guys. love, mark miklos

Scott: My deepest condolences and thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I remember meeting him many years ago, and he was a true gentleman and had a great sense of humor, and made you feel so at ease it was like you had known him for a long time. Heaven is a brighter place today. God be with you and your family. In Christ, Ray Cook

Scott and Becky, We were sorry to hear of your father's death, Scott, but know that he is rejoicing in heaven with his Savior. We are praying for you and your family as you go through the weeks and months without him. Love, Walt and Starr

Tim, Scott, and Family: I am sad to hear your Father has passed. He has transitioned and is rejoicing with those who have gone before. Your Dad was a beautiful and loving soul, kind, with a quiet and comforting spirit. I have many fond memories of your family and our connection as neighbors, friends and fellow Christians. May God's peace be with you during your time of grief. May your tears be filled with sweet memories of a Man who loved on this Earth, and taught us to Love. He was a Great Man. Love, Steve Miklos Houston, Texas steve@stevemiklos.com

Dear Scott, Becky and family, I am so saddened to hear of Larry passing on. He was such a sweet gentleman and I really enjoyed knowing him. I would see him at breakfast a lot of mornings at Bob Evan's or Cracker Barrel. He will be sadly missed, but home in Heaven. I will be out of town and can't come to the viewing. I am so sorry but am sending you lots of love, hugs and prayers.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear Tim,and Scott: I am very sadden about your dad's passing,but I'm positive he is with your mom,and in a much better place. My only regret is that we didn't get to know each other sooner. He was such a gentleman,good friend and neighbor. My husband Lupe, and I will surely miss him. Lupe & Maria Trevino

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
