Delphi Cornali was a great man, father, husband, and grandfather. To me he was my grandfather also. I called him Popeye. Because he took me to see the movie when it came out and I was already calling him poppa. I've missed him and my Grammy for a very long time. And now I'm going to miss him even more. I love you Popeye. Someday I will see you again
