He had many names because he meant so much to so many people. His love was endless, especially for his family. It may not have been always expressed in words, but the twinkle in his blue eyes said it all. Grandpa meant so much to us and will be dearly missed but we know we have an extra special angel watching us from above. Until we meet again….. Love you Grandpa! Kelli.
