I can't imagine what my life and the lives of my family would be lacking had we not known you. You reminded me of my grandfather, Weedle,in so many ways from the first moment I met you. Your stature, mannerisms, the way you stood in the background, always observing, listening. Oh how my boys adored you. You were the only one that they would sit still for, you had such a calming demeanor. Thank you for enriching our lives with your love, helpfulness and allowing us the opportunity to love you back. I promise to keep the many memories of "Ginndaddy" ever present in the lives of sons. I miss you so.
