Grandpa, you were an incredible patriarch, when you spoke, we listened. You were an extraordinary example for your grandchildren to follow and aspire to follow in your footsteps. You were an anchor, source of strength, and well of wisdom that have impacted future generations, and your legacy will live on! “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2Timothy4:7)
