Grandpa was amazing
He always had time for us
He made sure he went to your things
Even if he didn’t feel good
He never let you down
And was there if you needed him
He loved to spoil us grandkids
Once the parents were down the road
Down came the M&M jar
Out came the pop
And crunch went the Oreos
There are so many good memories
In fact, Too many to count
But each and every one is unforgettable

This is a tribute to my grandfather. He passed away August 3, 2012. He was one of the greatest people I know.
