Words can not express the grief we feel for the loss of you. You were an amazing Grandfather and man. I will be forever grateful for how much you helped me raise Wesley. You put your heart and soul in that boy and it shows everyday. I know you were tired, and I know you were ready. I don't think we ever could be ready for this day. We love you so very much Grandpa give Grandma kisses from us.

I remember you as a kind, dignified, and respected man. I am sad that after all these years I won't get to see you again. You were a great Uncle.
