Ever since we were young girls Gramp made us feel like we were part of the family. Gramp had the best sense of humor and a contagious laugh. Throughout the years we have cherished our times at Pojac with Gramp in the midst of the traditional beach rituals. He was continually observing with a caring eye and always taking the time to connect with each person, young and old, that passed his way. In the recent years we have had the fortune to bring our own children to Gramp's piece of paradise and we will forever hold those memories in a special place in our hearts.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

To all of you:
My prayers are with you as it is so difficult to lose a gramp/dad. I have so many fond memories of gramp...probably the most endearing is when he actually got me to eat eel! He was a wonderful man who left a beautiful legacy through all of you.
God bless.
