My Poppy was an amazing grandfather. Whenever I think of my childhood I think of him and how great he made it for me. I have countless, happy memories of him. I could not have Asked for a better Poppy. I will always remember him and all of the great times I've shared with him. I love you so much Poppy and you will always be in my heart forever and ever.
