We’re already at the end of August, which also means we’re at the end of summer and heading into fall. With time slipping by so quickly, it is all the more important that we take this day to pause and remember those who have gone on before us.
Jane Berryman David Richard Buckmaster Dr. Peter E. Carmody Theresa Haralson Tammy Hopf Raymond “Ray” Kalcich Michele Christi Mili Lawrence “Larry” Poissant William “Bill” Seppala Innocent victims of war in the current conflict, Servicemen & women and Frontline workers who have given their all
All of us here at Pasty Central extend our deepest sympathy to those who have lost someone near and dear to them. Two names above need special mention today...David Richard Buckmaster is regular visitor “Jbuck’s” husband and Lawrence “Larry” Poissant is Laurie Bashaw’s Dad. Laurie has been one of our regular visitors and also a photo/video contributor. May David, Larry and all who have left us too soon, Rest in Peace. Please feel free to post the names of those you’d like to remember.
Special thanks to Sally Beaudette for the beautiful Bootjack Sunset to reflect upon here today.
“Grief never ends … But it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love.” - Author Unknown
Thank you, Mary for the tribute, and Sally for the beautiful sunset. I always remember Buck's favorite verse when he was so sick and heading to his eternal Home:
2 Timothy 4:7-8
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

Remembering, and unable to ever forget, my Dad Ralph Sandretto who passed April 28th of this year. He had a remarkable zest for life, rarely a dull moment and is missed by many. Love you, Dad.

JBuck...huge Blessings to you...And to you too, Laurie....Death is so final, yet even that can be a Blessing.
Michele and Tammy...fly really, really high...Both so young and gone way too soon....

And Dr. Carmody....a lot of folks know him...he was one of the "Old Fashioned" Docs...who made housecalls, delivered MANY babies..in both Baraga and Houghton Counties...They don't do that in Baraga anymore...you go to Portage or to Ishpeming to have a baby now.
His sons are all doctors, some physical, one dental, his daughter is a NeoNatal ER nurse, his wife was a parent aide with Baraga DHS...(she's passed on too)...just some of the most outstanding folks on the planet.....we were blessed to have them.

Thank you, Mary, for remembering my dad, Larry Poissant. He is
missed, but enjoying his eternal peace with our Lord and his
family. What a reunion that must have been. He, and mom, will
Jbuck, thinking of you today as well. My deepest condolences and big hugs my NMU Sister!! May your heart let you smile again soon.

Thank you, friends, for the kind wishes. After being paralyzed for 12 years, Buck is now whole and surrounded by Love. As Laurie said, what a reunion he had with his family and friends! But i will always miss him with all my heart.
