Gramps i couldn't of asked for a better Grandfather. I'll never forget my summer trips to Pittsburgh going to Kennywood, going to the flea market with you and grandma and ending our night with your spaghetti. I'll never forget us driving down the turnpike trying to get tractor trailers to honk their horns and looking in the mountains for bigfoot. Now i know why i am a big Pittsburgh fan its because it represents and reminds me of you and my family in Pittsburgh. Gramps you will alway be in my heart and ill think of you every time i put cologne on and I'll wear your watch and ring with pride.

Joe, Keith & Pam,

So sorry for the loss of your Dad. He was a great guy. I will always remember being so touched when he came to NJ after Gordon passed. Also when he came to our house for a holiday dinner.
His family was his world. Know that he will live on through you and your children and grandchildren. May your memories of your Dad carry you through the difficult days ahead.

Respectfully,
Mike and Bonnie Lahey
