Best grandpa in the whole wide world. Best dad, best man. You were amazing. You had so many stories to tell and each one was just as real and exciting as the last. You were the most interesting man in the world! Words can't describe how much you're loved and how much you will be missed. I don't know how the world looks without you. You lived your life, a wonderful and extraordinary life. It makes it a little easier, even though you're gone, to know that. Although it's hard and heart breaking I know that you're no longer suffering and I can be at peace with that. Watching you go threw what you went through these past few months was so hard. To see such a strong man suffer, almost defeated, but continue to put up the good fight was inspirational. You're my hero. I love you so much and I will miss you everyday! R.I.P. pops, I'll see you later. xoxo
