My Poem to My Grandpa Shared at His Memorial Service:



No longer are you with us

But so many memories still remain

Selfish as it may sound

I wish you were still here with me

You will never be forgotten

By all those you touched

Your bright smile

Along with your unique personality

Never brought anything

But a smile to my face

Now you've moved on

to a better life

Better is one day in God's House

than a thousand here on Earth

The tears are flowing

And the pain remains

Now you're in a place

That someday we will meet again

Until the day we meet again

You will remain in me

I didn't know Duke very well, but what I did know of him the few times I saw him and spoke with him, he was a very charming man who made me feel at home in his company, and, who, despite his age and afflications maintained a spry, witty and congenial soul.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I worked with Duke at SRA for 5-10 years and enjoyed knowing him. He had a good sense of humor.
