Miss you grandpa. You were always looking out for us grandkids. You didn't let anyone mess with us. You even gave up your couch for me when I was sick.

Pat, the boys and I are sorry to hear about your father. He was a fine man and I'm grateful I had the oppotunity to meet him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family. Take care and God Bless your father.
Regards,
Tom Cronin
