Dear Grandpop,
It doesn't seem fair that it seems like I just recently got you in my life and that we didn't have more time together. I cherish out phone conversations and your always so up=beat, loving, positive attitude. I will miss you dearly. You are a very special wonderful man and I am proud to call you Grandpop.
I love you,
Heidi

Dearest Grandpop, I will always cherish the memories we made during my visits to Roxborough, and our daily conversations on the phone. You were my favorite person in this world, always the gentleman, and great storyteller, and wonderful friend...I know that you will be watching over me in heaven as you did in life. I love you, now and always

My dear Uncle Walter was a military hero, a successful businessman, and a devoted family man. I will always remember our summer holidays at his and Aunt Ruby's home in Roxborough, and his many kindnesses to my mother.
