I can’t believe that your gone. Throughout my life, you were the one thing that I could always count on. Even when I gave you good reason to give up on me, you didn’t. You picked up the slack when other people in my life didn’t do the things they should have. You never passed judgement on me. You were an amazing grandfather and you helped teach me what it means to truly be there for the people you love. I will miss you every single day.
Barbara and Family

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sending love and prayers to all of you 💕
