Of all the regrets of my life, i sincerely regret not spending more time with my Grandpa. My memories of him are as a hard, gruff and tough man, unafraid to show his love for me and his family. I wish deeply that I could have seen him. I love you grandpa. And i will rremember you always as the tough man you were.

Sharing a few fond memories.....he never missed a lotto ticket and loved to watch Dr. Who after supper. Keep in mind I am referring to the late '80s.
What a strong father and man. Such a hard worker too. So grateful to have the opportunity to get to know him and his family.
He was blessed with a lot of people that love him.
So sorry for your loss.
