I will always cherish the many memories I have of you. I loved how you were so kind, funny, and smart. I loved our disagreements about who was right when we were discussing the Church. You were a great grandfather, my children will deeply miss you. Your children will deeply miss you. It was a pleasure knowing you, and you will never know what an impact you made on my life in so many ways. I will always love you and forever miss you. Rest in Peace with all the angels in Heaven. I know you are now with your Angel.
