My grandpa will be greatly missed by many as he was truly a genuine, kind soul with the heart of a lion. I miss summer days as a kid getting to go to work with him and eating lunch together out of a lunch pail. I'm especially glad I got to spend more time with him during his later years and just shoot the breeze, he had some great stories to tell. I miss you grandpa - my idol. I hope you're in a better place and no longer in pain. Thank you for the great service as well, all who attended I'm sure appreciate it.
