Papa I miss you incredibly already but I know you are at peace and having a blast on that boat with Uncle Jerry that grandma never wanted you to get, while smiling and watching down on us all. You were such a compassionate, generous, joyful and all around amazing man. You were the best grandpa to Syd, Chase and I and we are so grateful for everything you did for us over the years. You stayed so strong and did so good, that amazing smile gave all of us strength right up until your last breath and we cannot thank you enough. I miss all of your stories and jokes that you loved to tell and our conversations that could’ve went on forever. Papa, you touched so many people throughout your lifetime and the amount of support around grandma and the family is unbelievable. I will do my best to make you even more proud of me than you already are and I’m sure grandma, Uncle Steve, Dad, Shan, Chase and Syd will do the same. Live it up, up there... until we meet again papa, I love you. See you again, D
