The time I was able to spend with Grandpa I found him to be a delightful person. I enjoyed listening to his stories and thought he played a mean game of cards. I am so pleased I had the opportunity to get know him if only for a little bit. Bless your family. I hope you find peace in knowing he lived a full rich life.

The little time I was able to spend with Grandpa, I found him to be a delightful person. It was fun hearing his stories, and he definitely played a mean game of cards. I am so happy I had the opportunity to spend that time with him.
