The few times we met Grandpa Shock we knew he was a very special person. We enjoyed visiting with him and loved when he called our daughter April May and June. We knew he loved her and made her part of the family and we felt he was a part of our family too. He will be greatly missed and in our prayers. Now he is with the Lord and out of pain. Know that we wish we could be with the family at this time and we are there in spirit.
Love Rene' and Janet

Kermit was a true gentleman! Always thinking of others. I loved his smile and the twinkle in his eye! He was a special friend to my grandmother and to our family. I know both cherished their times together. We were all lucky to have such an incredable role model. May he rest in peace. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely-
Jennifer Dudon Musser
