I have so many wonderful memories of you from when I was a child and I would visit everybody over on the coast. It has been several years since I have seen you but those memories are with me always. Rest in Peace and know you are very loved.

We will all miss our Uncle "Babe". Underneath his gruff exterior was a kind, loving, wonderful man. I have many good memories of him as I grew up - and they will stay with me forever. We all loved him alot!

Grandpa, you will forever be with us and we are so sorry we couldn't be here sooner. You were always kind to me and treated me like family. I couldn't have asked for a funnier, smart-alec of a grandfather-in-law. You will be missed, but we take comfort in thinking that the fairways are green up there and your golf game is at its best.

Uncle babe will be missed by everyone that knew and loved him. He was always there with a quick joke and a big smile. Rest in peace, Uncle Babe. You were a loving, caring and tender man, under all that gruffness, that was adored by all of your family. I love you!!
