Grandpa, I hope you knew how grateful I was to have you in my life. The walks along the golf course, the Michigan summers, the advice about life. These things I will carry with me always. Thank you for always being proud of me, and for raising a wonderful woman who became my mother. I know where you are the lake is gorgeous, the fish are biting, the beer is cold, and Grandma is smiling. I miss you and love you.

Hi Connie, Cindy and Family. I have such fond memories of all of you and all the time we spent together as kids. Uncle Charlie was a very special Uncle to me. He was always willing to spend time with me. We golfed, we played tennis, we fished and one of my most favorites, we made a few stops here and there on the way home. Just he and I. I knew he liked me when I got to stop and have a cold drink with him in the local establishment of his choice. As a kid, that was great fun for me. I always liked to call Uncle Charlie on Veterans Day, He is was and always will be a HERO to me. Love robby
