Name Ashley and Ella G Comment "Grandpa I hope you are feeling good up in heaven." -Ella You were a good man, we loved laughing with you and your silly tickles. We'll miss your sloppy kisses and soft beard on our cheeks. We won't miss those boring golf shows though. We'll miss you during the holidays, playing Wii bowling and hearing your gruff voice telling us you love us. Thank you for being a Wonderful grandpa who was there to snuggle when we needed it and always having a fun story for us to hear. Thank you for reading with us and the funny moments we'll always be able to talk about. Like when you would fall asleep in the chair and we would change the channel and you would quick wake up and say "hey I was watchin that." We love and miss you the memories of you will forever be held tightly in our hearts. Rest easy Gramps.
