Pappy was the kind of cousin everyone hopes to have—elegant in every sense, brilliant in mind, and quick with the kind of wit that could light up any room. He carried himself with quiet grace and a sparkle that made ordinary moments feel special. Whether sharing a clever story, offering a thoughtful insight, or simply laughing until the whole table joined in, he left people better and happier than he found them.

He will be remembered not only for his intelligence and charm, but for the love he gave so freely. Pappy’s legacy is one of laughter, kindness, and the countless memories he created with family and friends. His life was a gift, and his presence will always remain in the hearts of those who loved him. Love and hugs to Barbara , Audrey, Michael and Phyllis and family .
