Our deepest condolences to the entire family, I was driving and saw Tony and Carole in the procession and then researched to see who might have passed away. So very sorry for your family's loss but it sounds like you have very many fond and happy memories of your times together.

Respectfully,

Frannie and Family...what a great way to spend the last years of one's life...being surrounded by family that wants to make Grampa happy, comfortable and loved. He became the nighttime protector of the great-grandchildren who went to him in the middle of the night for comfort. He was the alpha dog in the pack, as the dog well knew. How generous fo all of you to pro-actively care for him...to take the time to purposely include him and make him an integral part of the whole, despite his protests. It's great to know you are loved and all of you made sure he knew it. The experience set a fine example for the kids who will probably be very loving individuals, for the experience. Hats off to all of you. The best part for Grampa, no more pain. No doubt he will be missed.
