Grandad is one of my favorite people. I will miss his humor, kindness, and love. Thank you for being the best grandad to me and my son. We love you so much.

Uncle Harry was always ready to party - even stealing Mom´s Kentucky Derby hat. As I recall, he won the kitty, too. I know your happy memories are many, Tad and Doug, and those will be of great comfort to you.
