I love you grandpa. My memories of you will always be, you chasing me through the house trying smack me with your cane. But then there's also the "turn that damn TV off, it's making it hot in this house!" When it's in the middle of summer and your ac is set to 85 degrees. I will cherish my memories with you. Hug grandma and mom for me!

Grandpa, you were a great part of my childhood. I have so many great memories of playing racquetball with you after school and playing cards. One of my very favorite memories of you is when I visited you and grandma in NY when I was about 4 or 5. You made a slip and slide for me to play on. I had a ball! You've helped me out so many times, and I am forever grateful. I am so glad that you and grandma moved to FL during my preteen years. I love you so very much and I am going to miss you more than anything. I am proud to call you, "Grandpa". Love you you, always.
