I love you Grampy Up the Road! We all miss you lots!! My favorite memory with you is when we were at Foxwoods and I thought you were winning thousands at the poker table, so I insisted you buy me a car. Your reaction was priceless when you had to tell me that you were in a tournament and that you would not be bringing home that much. Your smile/laugh when I told you that I'd settle for a pair of shoes was awesome!
