I will miss my Pappy greatly. All those memories I will cherish. My favorite will always be when I was at LCCC after class I would go over & hang out with my grandfather. We both enjoy those times together. I will miss that. Pappy, I hope you know I love you & will miss you! Know even though I couldn't be there physically at the end, I was there in spirit. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't think of you.

Milton was a good man. He, and his family, were the best neighbors anyone could have when I, and my family, lived next door in Friedensville many years ago.
