While I didn't spend a lot of time visiting you and aunt Susie at your house, I will always remember visiting the video store and staying up late watching scary movies at your house. Wish there was more time on this earth for you. Love you all.

He never missed a day at being my grandpa. He gave all of us so many great memories to pass on to our children and set an example of what a loving and committed marriage looks like. Thank you papa for all the lessons and I love you. Until we see each other again, enjoy your peace.
