You may not have been my Grandpa by blood but you would have never known that. I couldn't have picked a greater man. You were a great man with one of the biggest hearts I have ever seen. I will cherish the memories of you singing the Charlie Brown song, dressing up as Santa for us every year when we were kids, and so many, many more. You were always there for me and taught me so many valuable things. I always admired you. You will be greatly missed. We know that you are in heaven now and not suffering anymore so we can take peace in that but there will be a space left that no one else can fill.

In Loving Memory,
Laura Filas(Stevens)
