What a wonderful man. He always had a twinkle in his eye, a hug and smile for me. He loved his family more than life itself. I was blessed to have him in my life from infancy and will always have wonderful memories of being in your home and at your table. He was a treasure.

Margie:

I was saddened when I learned of your loss. Although I never met your dad, I could tell, from how you spoke of him, that he was a very special and important part of your life. I hope that you and your family can find peace and comfort during this difficult time. When I lost my dad, it was difficult for all of us. We solaced our greif, in large part, by remembering all the good times that we enjoyed with him. I am sure that you will be able to do the same. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Mr. G. made a huge impact on my life. He was a kind and loving person and I always thought of him as a second father. He will be missed by all he touched. Love to you all, Rhonda
