I am so grateful to have known Mr. Guerin throughout my life. He was a shining example of what it means to put family first and live with kindness and integrity. His warmth, wisdom, and steady presence left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him including myself. While he will be deeply missed, I will always carry with me the lessons he taught simply by the way he lived. My heart goes out to the entire Guerin family, No words can express the sadness in my heart for your loss and I hope you can find comfort in the incredible legacy he leaves behind. I am forever grateful my dad had you as a best friend Jim. You will be missed more then you know. I know you're in heaven already scoping out the best golf courses. We are out of town at the kids state wars hockey tournament today so we had to miss saying goodbye. I know how much you cared for us even from afar. So I'm proud to say the littles won Gold for team Florida and have been selected to play for team USA tonight, I know your grandkids are going to do great things in this world as well. You should be so proud of the family created and nurtured. In the game of life I'd say you hit "a hole in one".
There is so much more I could say and thank you for but in my heart I think you already know.
Maybe just watch your jokes up there, you are now in the presence of angels <3
with love,
Kayla

Daddy, words can never express how much you meant to me. You were my rock. You were more than my absolute hero, positive role model, and my protector. You lead an incredible life lighting up every room you walked into. You had an amazing ability to connect with everyone you met. You worked so hard providing an amazing life for me, JD, Alex & Mom. We are beyond blessed that you were our father. I will always cherish the fond memories I have of you growing up and beyond. It’s amazing that I was able to marry a man, Jason Heinzelmann, who mirrored many of your best qualities and attributes. RIP Jason. RIP Daddy. I wish I had more quality time to spend with you. I hope you know how much I looked up to
you all my life. You taught me so much and I am grateful for having you in my life. My heart is broken, but I will be strong for you, Dad. I love you with all my heart and will think of you every single day. I am glad that you no longer have to endure pain and suffering. You were my EVERYTHING. Please look down and watch over me always. Thanks for helping shape my love of Rock music, cheesy 80s fighting/karate movies, shooting a gun, and your incredible patience helping me with math problems growing up.
All my love,
Em
