I am going to miss him very much but will always remember the times when our family's were close and the summer vacations that I always looked forward to. He was a great grandfather and my fondest memories are of him laughing at coyote and road runner cartoons. He always had a great sense of humor and was the hardest working man I ever knew. Good bye grandpa and thank you for the memories. Love Cole
