Such a great man to so many people, how it pains my heart to know I can never hear his voice again. An amazing family left behind with lots of "buddy" behaviors to carry on. May they honor him by continuing to pour love over those he loved so well. Life is too short and it makes me smile to know he truly lived it. RIP Paw Paw
