I have only known you for a short while, but I am grateful for the time I have spend with you. Thank you for including me in your family. I have known you as an honourable, gentle man with a big heart. You have been nothing but gracious and accepting of me and I am so thankful for the little time I have spend with you. It is not easy to find men in this world who deserve respect, but you were one of them. I am touched that you took the time to say goodbye to me. The world lost a hero, I lost a family member.

Pop, you and I didn't always see eye to eye, but it seems that you were ALWAYS right. The advice that you gave (when taken) always worked to my advantage. I've always loved you even tho' at times I'm sure it didn't seem that way. You will surely be missed, and never forgotten, I love you Pop...:)

Although I never really knew you very well, I did come to respect you and your views on life. I enjoyed our talks and always had fun when we got together during the holidays.
You will be missed and I hope you have found the peace that you never had over the last few months of your life. You did right by your Kids and I will keep an eye on them for you. Take care and until we meet again, be at peace.

Hey Pop. Good morning sunshine.:D
I want to let you and the family know that I loved being with you for your final months on this planet.
I grew to love you as much as my own dad and I know you are watching over us.
I learned a lot of things from you. We have a lot of the same thoughts and feelings and were able to share those.
Mom will be taken care of and SHE will be the one to decide what she wants to do. She is the QUEEN of the castle and able to make decisions on her own. We all will help her in any way that we can.
I love you. R.I.P.

Love and miss you grandpa. I won't be there for your memorial but you know the whys and whatnot. I'm blessed that I got to see the smiles my daughter brought to your face , and I appreciate your love and guidance as I grew. I will always miss you but I'm thankful I got so many more years with you than I did with my other grandfather. Xox

Pop,I love you so much and miss you already. I know that we often did not see eye to eye, but you were always there for me. You always did your best and I did not get that as a kid, but as an adult I understand. I wish that I could turn back time and redo some of the things that I had done to upset you. I pray that you are at peace now. I promised that I would do my best to help mom and I know that John will to. She knows that she can stay with either one of us. You taught me to stand up for myself and to fight for what was right. You also taught me to fight period, which is something that got me into trouble, a lot of trouble when I was young. You taught me a good work ethic and showed me how to provide. I just wish that you could have brought yourself to show your emotions a little more, or say I love you once in awhile. I think that I was out of the house the first time that I ever heard that from you. Regardless, I will always know that you did your best to provide food, shelter, clothing and protection. I know that because of you, I was able to provide for my wife and was able to protect the kids when they were all young and still at home. The following words may uset you, but I will say them anyway...God Bless You. I know that right now, you are the one who knows which one of us is right. I also wanted to thank you once again for your service to our country. I just wish that our government would have done a better job of taking care of you when you came back. Again, I love and miss you and will honor my promise to you regarding taking care of mom. Rest in Peace Pop. I hope that you are proud of me at least a little. Your eldest.
