as a kid,I remember " Mr. Roberts"
living across from my house.I would
ride my bike through his yard to get to Aurora st.to visit my friends. I would sometimes leave bike tracks
in his lawn,but he never said anything to me.I am glad he had a chance to live such a long life.

Grandpa, how honey up your nose was supposed to keep a man healthy I still have not the slightest clue but the proof was in an old gent like yourself. Miss you always. Love you and Grandma.

Miss you Grandpa/Great-Grandpa! I will always remember the great times we had including how you fired me from my lawn-mowing job at age 9 because I was taking joy rides with the riding lawn mower after I was finished. I'll never understand how a blind man could see that the lines on his lawn were disrupted. I will also remember the straw games we played at Atlantis and the dollar you would give me every Sunday. I will never forget seeing a fork out of the corner of my eye coming from your direction attempting to snatch my food! I'm sure you found Grandma by now so give her my regards. Love you lots!

Jennifer and Joshua

P.S. Isn't it great to see again?

Grandpas are the best story tellers especially when the tales are as rich as the ones that my grandpa shared with me. I am truley blessed to have these memories shared with me and deeply touched that 23 years of my story include such a remarkable man. I will miss you tremendously and pass your story on to generation number five. Love you lots.

Grandpa, we were all so blessed to have you. I am going to miss all the stories that could only be told by you. I was always in awe of your amazing memory. Thank you for showing us how to live long, happy, & healthy. Your good habits will carry on in this family of yours. Even Serena eats oatmeal everyday, just like her great grandpa! You and Grandma are sadly missed and forever loved.
