Not sure what to say?

I love you and miss you grandpa!
Alicia

A husband, a father, a grandpa too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a husband not just as a father.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,...

Michael,Gary,Jeff and family.

May he rest in peace

Mike and family,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I still can picture hearing him playing and singing all over Griffith, especially entertaining us at VI after softball games. All of your friends and Griffith will miss him.

No words could express the joy "AL" gave to so many.Sometimes we are measured in life by how others love us.You are at the very top "AL" and will always be loved.
