Although it has been 22 years ago you would be the life of the party at 111 years old. Taking your wife for a spin on the dance floor and yelling BINGO proudly. Your smile is greatly missed and that belly laugh. We are proud to be your grandchildren. Please give our father a big hug for us and a kiss to grandma.

Grandpa
It has been 21 years since we have seen that beautiful smile but remember all the things you told us. Respecting others, loving all the little things around us and to remember to lend a helping hand to others. We hope you take grandma for a spin on the dance floor and hold on tight. God bless you both and say hi to our dad.
