"Ziggles... missing his buddy "Grandpa"...
"Grandpa" You were my buddy and we hung out together every time you came home from visiting "Grandma". We'd watch TV with me in your lap and you'd rub my back and ears. Then we'd sneak into the kitchen for milk and cookies. It was a good time! I miss you and our fun times together.

Dad, ever since we met you accepted me as your daughter and not an "in-law" and that meant a lot to me because I lost my parents when I was younger and you became my "dad". In fact, you insisted I call you "Dad". Even though we met when I was an adult you were an amazing father figure and role model. You gladly welcomed me and my children and grandchildren into the family as if we were your own. You were always there for me no matter what, even though you couldn't hear me sometimes. (LOL) ...

Dad, as I grew up I realized you were the smartest man I ever knew and you guided me to be the man I am today. I remember growing up you taught me hard work won't kill me, do my best in everything or don't bother doing it, and to keep a sense of humor. I've always tried to live up to your example. Even though some of our handyman projects had some "glitches" I enjoyed them all. One of my favorite memories of that was when we were both wiring different electrical junction boxes in the attic...
