To the Tetreaults and Calos,

I had the pleasure of being in your fathers / grandfathers company a few times through the years of our friendship. I didn't know him real well but if I am to look around and see the results of his long full life I can see what a great man he must have been through the quality of his children and grandchildren and it even carries through to his beautiful great grandchildren. I am sure he will be missed greatly but you can all take comfort in knowing he is proud and smiling down upon everyone.

Your friends,

Rick and Celeste

Grandpa,

I will never forget all the time we spent together, I remember when I was a little boy you taught me to ride my bike, showed me how to paint the house, how to thatch rake the lawn , and how to sop up my sauce with bread, you taught me so much more. Grandpa you were always there for me when I needed you, when you would take me to drivers ed and to listen to my problems on the ride home, you really believed in me when others had there doubts. There are so many things that you taught me including my core values.. You will truly be missed but never forgotten. You were really one of a kind and it meant more to me than anything when you said how proud you were of me; well I could never have been more proud to call you my grandfather.

I love You!!!

See you again when the time is right..

Love

Ricky
