I will always remember your laugh, your smile, and the way you cared for me as a youngster. Mass at Holy Name, the Sunday brunches at the Walnut Room, the Wendella tours, the old toy department on the 7th floor of Field's - these are just a few of the fond memories I will always have of my time spent with you. "Take the Blue Island 60 to the 151 Sheridan" - still the only bus route I've committed to memory. Velveeta sandwiches and Spaghettios - still my favorite lunch.



I will always love you, and will miss you dearly.



Your loving grandson,



Andrew



P.S. - "What fwoor you wive on?"
