This is my grandfather on my mother's side and I just wanted to say he was a great man. He's the guy that encourages and inspires you to do bigger and better things with your life. He told me when I was making mistakes and he told me when I was doing the right thing. We had some good times grandpa and I'm going to make you proud! I miss you
