I am so glad that I got to spend time with you before you passed. You were right about the gossip. Thank you for being my grandpa and if I hadn’t lived with you and gram growing up I would not be the person I am today. Since you are with me everyday you already know that I miss you and I love you. I just wish that my family would have not been so selfish. Noone told me you passed so I never got closure until now. None of the grandkids needed this more then me because of the
bond we had and being the only grandchild that you raised and you spoiled and who made you & gram laugh. It’s too bad Jodi didn’t know the nick name you had for her before they wrote your obit. I am glad I have found closure and I am not sad I lost my grandpa. I love you grampa
