The greatest man I ever met, anyone who knew loved him. My grandpa was not only a grandpa to my sister and I but he was also one of our bestfriends. I could have not been more blessed by having this man in my life! We will forever miss him and always love him. Our lives are changed forever and we all wait for the day when we hear his goofy voice, crazy jokes and can see him again!

I am sorry to hear about Terry. He and I spent many hours together fishing and playing baseball, many years ago.
