My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of this special man (Grampy), whom everyone loved and will miss. I know that he will be shinning down on you from heaven. Even though he may not be with you, you will always have him in your hearts. For me it was such an honor to have met him and I thank God for giving me that opportunity. His presence will always be with us. May God Bless You and Him, Today, Tomorrow and Always.
