My Granfather was an incredible man, who lived a long happy life and has left us with beautiful memories. He was a part of many peoples lives and was loved by many.

My Grandpy was very special to me, because he taught me so much about life.

When my dad married my mom, Grandpy welcomed me into his family with open arms, he loved me as if i were his own, to him I was his darling girl. To me and my siblings he was our only Grandpa, and to me he was my one and only Grandpy. To me he was a great man and the best Grandfather anyone could ask for. He was my partner in crime, he would be the first one i called when I wanted to be picked up from school, knowing he would never say no. Anywhere I wanted to go he would take me in a heartbeat. He was not only a grandpa to me and my family but as well as to my friends, which he loved very much.

When i was going through the dark times in my life, he was always there to listen.

He always told me to do what makes me happy, and that all that mattered was my happiness and well being. He made me promise that no matter how hard things would get, I would ovecome it, that i would make him proud. He supported me in just about everything I did. When I was a hopeless wreck, he always kept his faith in me. I will miss him with all my heart. I will miss listening to those World War Two stories and waking up to the tv blaring downstairs and his crazy driving and his delicious chocolate cake, but most of all i will miss his hugs that made everything better.

My Grandpy wasnt a religious man, but he had faith. Faith in people and faith in God.

Because of him, my family has had the privledge to get to know some of the nicest people all of his friends are wonderul present he has left us. I wanted to say thank you to Melba for all her love and help during this painful time, you are truly a blessed gift we have gotten to know over the past years.

I am so blessed to say that he was my Grandpy and I know my life is so much better thanks to him. We will all miss him, but knowing my Grandpy he wouldnt want us to cry and mourn but rather celebrate his long and great lived life.
