I am so sorry Gary is gone. He and I had a nice lunch and afternoon at the Hawk last month.He didn't want to suffer in pain, he told me that, so at least he is with our girl and in no pain.

Dad, it's hard to write this to you. I know you have returned to pure energy. I feel great relief you're not suffering anymore, I'am happy you're able to see the other side of life's journey peacefully. I have had quite a ride in life as your son with you, both joy and difficulty alike. Dad we have made our words and found them to be graciously healing. I look forward to seeing you again. I know we will. Love ya, ole fart. Lol, your loving son Sean.

The best Grandfather I could ever ask for
