Timmy and Roger,
I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. Sending love, hugs and prayers. “Yippee”, as I lovingly called him was simply the best. My mom Janice adored him as did I. We all loved Yippee. I have so many wonderful fond memories of him. We spent lots of good times together. Unfortunately I have not seen him in many years, but I do know he loved you so much.I remember he use to talk about you both all the time and he was so proud to be your dad. They do not make them any better than him. His smile and laughter was contagious. He will be watching over you always.
Rest in paradise sweet Yippie and thank you for being so good to my mommy.

Dear Timmy and Roger
Sending our deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved father. He loves you so very much. He spoke of you often.
Although we haven’t seen Yippee for several years, we do have fond memories of him at work and in social events; at our wedding and with our girls. He was such a lovely man. His smile is embedded in my heart.
Warmly,
Elaine and Frank Yen

Dear Tim and Roger –
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I always enjoyed seeing him when I came to birthdays and holiday dinners. I could see how much he loved little Timothy and Lara and the rest of his family. I never knew my own grandfathers, so I’m glad they got to know him, even though it was for far too short a time.
I never knew people called him Yippee—I love that name. I would have called him that, if I knew. May Yippee rest in peace forever.
Love, Auntie Franni 💕

Timothy & Roger,
Your father truly was a special man.
We have so many fond memories of him, as there are not too many occasions when your dad (our Yippee) wasn’t there. Not only was Yippee my mother’s (Janice) dearest friend; he was also very much a part of our entire family. He went to our weddings, family reunions, christenings, lamb roasts and holiday parties. Yippee will always hold a very special place in all our hearts.
There are many fun and loving memories of your father, as well as a lot of great memories of you two “boys” with your dad.
When I was a teen, your dad would take you boys to Canobie Lake, the beach or the movies, he often took me along, to help “babysit”; but honestly, it was a great gig for me, because I got to tag along on the fun!
There were also celebrations of our “Lo-Kai” family fun events. Remember the picnics at Wyman’s Beach, Christmas Parties with Santa, and all the Lo-Kai festivities. We definitely had crazy families.
After all the years of having fun with us kids, Yippee and Janice continued to stay best of friends and participated in their own adventures. Wednesday nights during the summer they continued to go to Hampton Beach to listen to the concerts and enjoy watching the fireworks. They took numerous trips to the casinos (Janice somehow always scored “lucky money” from Yippee – even if he didn’t win). They went shopping, out to eat, played cards with the aunties, and were joined at the hip until our mom began to get ill.
I truly believe they are joined at the hip again, as ANGELS above.
May your dad’s (Yippie’s) memory be eternal and forever in our hearts.
Deepest Sympathy,
Sharon & family
