Daddy I will love and miss you forever. Always your baby girl 
Julie 

We will miss you so much.  You were the most kindhearted Father, Grandfather , Greatgrandfather and Father-in-law.  I will miss your sweet smile and gentle nature.  I will miss your funny stories.  You were so special to me and I cherish our time we had with you.  

Grandpa, I’ll never forget all the time we shared together in my younger days and the more often than not simply hilarious instances I had with you as I was growing up. (My mind goes to the cologne “smell me” request) From the perfectly made eggs in a basket and grilled cheese sandwiches, to talking sports and doing puzzles, I will keep those memories for a long time and feel lucky I was able to spend as much time with you as I did. I’m happy you’re at peace now and also that you got to meet and see your great grandkids grow up, even if it was brief compared to our time. They were lucky to know you too. ❤️
