Grandpa memories of you will forever be with me, When I think of you my thoughts take me back to when I was a little girl, all the joy you brought into my life, I remember the 4th of July spent in Guasti all of the family together, and the camping trips to La Jolla but most of all I remember those rainy days when you would pick us up from school walking out and seeing you waiting there in your truck. I miss you Grandpa so much memories of you will forever be in my heart and I'm so glad that you were around to be that same wonderful great-grandpa to my four daughters whom miss you dearly. We love you....your granddaughter Lisa and great-granddaughters Desiree, Mandy, Emily and Eileen
