My father was a great man. He taught me to be the person I am today. He was my protector my hero my inspiration. He has been an amazing grandfather to my children. The day you left us you told me to be strong and that you knew this would be hard….no truer words could be spoken. My heart is very heavy with sorrow and pain but I want you to know that I do know you are in a better place….and at peace. I will miss you every day. I love you so very much and I am so grateful for the life you have given me and Frank. Now it is time to sleep and get that much needed rest. Until we see each other again I will love you always and forever…and yes I love you more.

Dad raised a GREAT Family
