I love you grandpa.. you will truly be missed.. I have so many wonderful memories with you.. I'm so glad I got to see you the last few years of your life when I stop by your house almost weekly and bring you flowers or a plant... I now know how important that was... I'll never forget "Garage door open".. or all that great food you used to make.. or your little cans of 7up we would drink while sitting out on your man made empire 3 level backyard.. or hitting golfballs off the hill towards ssf airport... oh how could we forget the view!! ..
