Grandpa was an intelligent man. Served his country well, and was an outgoing person with a humble and funny personality. I always observed him being on good terms and talking to other people in both places that he lived. It is sad to see him go, but may he rest in peace and join his loving wife Rita, and his amazing grandson Travis.
