Grandpa. You were one of a kind. Your sense of humor-your laugh will always ring through my mind. The star mints and red hot gum were always shared amongst us Grandchildren. Horseshoes, BBQ’s, HUGE hugs and a game of pool were often on the schedule. There’s so much more to share as always limited time. You loved us even in the end when you didn’t recognize us. You will be missed by so many. Love you!

Sure do miss you grandpa. Wish we would have had more time together in the recent years. Always remember your sense of humor and watching you pack engines around with your bare hands. You’re missed and loved by all of us. Give grandma a hug and kiss for us.
Love you grandpa
