In memory of Col. Ronald Bila, My friend, my daughters Gramps' and a decorated American. A man who loved America, fought for America, and was proud to be an American. Originally from Michigan, he'd follow the Tigers and Red Wings, tell stories of growing up, and mistakes he made - learned from, and got on with life. He loved his grand daughter (as well as his sons and daughter), and his wife - Elaine. Ron loved telemarketing calls, as he loved to haggle both quality, price, and transgressions (from the respective caller's company). Woodworking and restoring old Chevy trucks (he and Elaine once drove from Colorado to Michigan in an old, old restored truck...) used up most of Ron's time in after he retired from the Army. Golf was his friend/enemy. His family his reason for doing it all... You are not forgotten...

In memory of Jack Masters, who passed last night. Be with Gramma and know that you are loved by all.

In memory of my dad, Bill Givens, who passed away October 23, 2003. We think of him everyday and miss him so much.

your sister-in law Jenny Tatrow.

In memory of my grandmother, Signe Anderson, who passed away in March several years ago. She was always considerate of other peoples feelings until her dementia in later years when she became brutally honest. I only wish that the last thing she said to me was something other than that I had bad breath. But she left her family with many "Siggie-isms" to pass on to the next generation.

In memory of our dad, Fred Korpi.

I saw Mike Stimac's name on a previous post; if it's the same Mike I knew, I can't count the times I laced up my hockey skates in the back room of Mike's store in Copper City because the ice rink shack was locked after school. I can still picture him greeting us as we walked in the store after school. What a character!

Another great shot from Z-Man

I lived in Ironwood years ago around 1991 and a guy worked at the County Market there. His nickname was Beazer and he died on M28 his motorcycle ran into a semi truck. I never knew what happened to his family and i cant even remember his real name but i have never forgotten him, he was a really nice guy and its so tragic that his life was taken so early.. he was in his early 20's at the time. Rest in peace Beazer

In memory of my wonderful dad, Allen McMurphy who passed away thirteen years ago on the 13th. He truly loved his family and made sure we all had a nice vacation every year. Many years we spent that memorable time in the beautiful Keewenaw. All of us think of him every day with loving memories.

What an absolutely gorgeous sunset, and absolutely fitting for the month-end tributes. In memory of my grandfather, Ervin W. Oswald (04/30/1907 - 03/03/1983), and casting director/actress Cecily Adams, 39, daughter of "Get Smart" actor Don Adams, wife of actor Jim Beaver, mother of two-year old Madeline, who died on March 3, 2004 following a hard-fought 5-month-long battle with lung cancer. She was a non-smoker and organic food proponent and this was totally unexpected and unfair. RIP, and watch over our military and our loved ones.

In memory of my mother-in-law, Gwen Provost, who passed away peacefully last Wed., March 24th. This picture reminds me of God's love to us...He brings peace and serenity when we need it most.

In memorty of Evelyn Alatalo. Long time resident of Still Waters. Gon for 2 1/2 years. I MISS YOU GRANDMA

The Diocese of Saginaw lost a truly great man this past Saturday. Bishop Ken Untener died suddenly of a form of leukemia after only going on leave a month or so ago. Actually the loss is great to all in the area he served and he was truly a servant. He lived wherever he landed, gave away his gifts and belongings, never forgot a name or face (never cracked a book at mass, he had a photographic memory and recited the gospel from memory) played hockey on an artificial leg as well as playing a mean honkey tonk piano. He can never be replaced and the world is the less without him. But I suppose there are some smiles in heaven today.

Frankie Miller, born in Lake Linden, lived his life in Detroit but his heart was always in the Copper Country. He would have loved this picture.

Thanks Z-man for the picture and thankyou Mary for posting it. It has obviously touched a lot of us fans of Pasty.com.

Yooper in Vegas:
Good to hear she's having a good time. We are enjoying a warming sunshine and temps in the high 30's with promises of 40's for the weekend.

Alex Tiensivu, GA -

Thanks for the message, it touched me. My heart goes out to the French family; take care of each other...

Thanks Mary for posting Nichole Alicia Kinnunen and Brian Tober!! Please remember that Nichole was 17 and Brian was 18.

Nichole and I were childhood best friends. I miss her dearly. I just a got a letter from her mom today. I would post it, but its fairly long. Please keep everyone in your prayers listed on this site today!!

I hate losing classmates... I've lost 3 classmates in my grade. Brian was a grade higher than me...

In memory of a long time Dollar Bay resident, Waldo Backman. He was a nice man and a good Husband and a wonderful father to John and Sven. I know everyone from Dolar Bay will never forget him.

Alex,I sure was sorry to hear about that young man's tragic loss.Our prayers are with him. I know you and Cindy will be there for him.

Larry Humphrey and Arlan Ollankato. Knew one and bet I would have liked them both.........Not to spoil the spot, but I really hope this mess "over there" does not turn out like "mine" did in 1970. We need to learn......Every life is precious. Soft power can heal....Hard power seems to just enable resolve...It is a game that can't be won and probably not worth "winning". We just can't afford the loss. OGO

In memory of Gino Manzini who passed away very recently.

In memory of Miranda Palosaari... you're missed by all.

In memory of Bob Sturos who passed away Jan. 5, 2004. When the sun sets in the west, we trust that God knows best. He gives us strength each day to continue on without our husband, father and grandfather.

In memory of my dad, Bob Sturos, who passed away suddenly from our lives, 3 months ago. Dad is surely going to be missed by us all; his famliy, grandchildren, and his wife/our beloved mother, as his "giving and giving attitude" to us all never stopped. This beautiful sunset brings memories of the many that Dad enjoyed over Lake Superior and over Portage Lake at our camp in Bootjack - as each day ends with these peaceful sunsets, we all pray that God gives us strength to continue on and to keep a watch over us all, including Dad up in Heaven.

Please remember John H. Levijoki, passed on 8-11-96; wo had a heart bigger than life itself. May He ever glory in the brilliance of our Heavenly Home with our Lord.
