Thanks for being a "GREAT" father. You taught me a lot about life, and about family. My son will truly miss his "GRANDPA"; you always found time to play with him.
You will be greatly missed.

I will always remember him as being a very generous person. I feel honored to have known him as a dad and a grandpa, and to have had the opportunity to be part of his family. He loved all of his grandchildren so much, he was very proud of each of them. I will miss him.
