You will be missed Grandpa. I have so many great memories of spending time with you and Grandma. I will always remember the huge Thanksgiving feasts with the whole family, Christmas that always ended at your house and Christmas dinner, and the times we all went camping together. It was always about family. Love you Grandpa.
