I was so lucky to have such a wonderful Grandpa in my life. He has taught me some great values of life. When ever I was down he had the perfect words to cheer me up. When I needed a hug he would have a big squeeze for me. Grandpa had the best words of wisdom. I will cherish the great memories that we have shared. He will be greatly missed and always be close in my heart. LOVE YA GRANDPA!!!!
