My Grandfather, a man of few words but a lot of action, willing to give and not seek anything in return. Knowing that person may not be able to give back, he still help and gave you words of encouragment. The persona of a grandfather, he was gracious, kind ,cordial , very affable and always happy to see you. Never asking for help but only love in return. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER AND LOVE YOU.

Little Robert,
