Ann, Gabe and Mila: Your dad/grampa was such a full human being, so full of passion and love for all of you, right up until the last few days. Like your mom/grandma, he was full of warmth. I am glad I got to know him a little. I am so sorry for your loss. He will leave a big hole in your lives. Again, so sorry.
