Popsie-

I don't even know where to begin. Words can not even begin to describe what you mean to our family. You were the best great grandfather- such an example of a life lived to the fullest. Thank you for always being there for me and for being so involved in our lives. I love you and will miss you dearly.



Love,

Erika

Hi, Popsie,

It is still hard to believe you are gone. Seems like just yesterday that I spent a week with you and Grammy in New Orleans. Will never forget the fun and the good food. You were the best grandfather that anyone could ever have. Wish my sons could have spent more time with you. Thanks for all the good memories and the fun. Will love and miss you always.
