Salvatore Barruzza

July 24, 2006

As a young child I will always remember

my Grandfather visiting me at my parents home. I didnt understand a word he said but his eyes and his smile told me that he loved me and he was as happy to see me as I him. He would always bring me a clicker. Later I would

find out that what I thought was a childs toy was actually a communication

device used in the war. I cant remember

anyone in my life who was happier to

see me. And I can say that I was always

just as happy to see him. I will miss my

grandfather very much, Ive never met

anyone like him.
