No matter where we spent our time together, hilarity would ensue. Gallon sized cool whip containers, mini golf, your gold chain, NJ food tours. So many things will always be associated with you. I'm so grateful to have had known you. You'll be be missed but not forgotten. Sit back, relax and have a Hoffmans donut... I'm certain they exist up there :)

I always looked forward to the 2 weeks every summer you and grandma would come stay with us. It was my favorite part of the summer... the Hoffman's donuts, Joe Leone's garlic bread, Mueller's crumb cakes, the Squan Tavern family dinners, seeing your diet coke and Budweiser in the fridge - the Bud seemed to never get finished and the next summer you'd come it would always still be there :) Memories I will never forget. I love you grandpa and you will forever be in my heart. <3
