Grandpa,
I can’t begin to tell you how much your are missed already. You will always have a place in my heart. I remember the first day I met you for your birthday at the Thornwood Diner, from that day on you treated me like family and most of all like your own grandson. I cherish all the weekends we spent together whether it was relaxing at your house or going out to your favorite stores such as Walmart, target, home depot and almost forgot Kohl’s. When the day was over it was dinner time and boy was it dinner time your cooking was extraordinary I wish I could cook like you. You made all the holidays special because you were there to celebrate them with us. It’s gonna be hard from here on out without you but I know you are looking down on us and watching over us. You taught me a lot of great values about construction and I’m gonna take on those values on your behalf. THANK YOU. I want to thank you for being a great grandfather to my beautiful kids Anthony and Gianna, you were there for them from day one when Anthony was born. Anthony adored you PAPA when you guys would come up to our house Anthony would ask us is PAPA coming too mommy so we said yup he coming and it would lighten his world. He loved playing paper straw soccer across the table with you. He will greatly miss you PAPA . The smiles Gianna would give you when you walked through the door is a life long memorabilia she loved you. She used to get a kick out of wiping her spoon on your shirt at dinner time. She looks at pictures of you and points and says PAPA. You were a huge inspiration in their lives as well as all of ours. I will continue my life taking care of MICHELLE as you told me to when we got married you told me to take care of her and I will. There is no need to worry. Last nite I was staring up at the stars and I said grandpa if your up there talk to me and there you were a shooting star before my eyes. It made me feel better to know you were ok. Please continue to watch over us as we will always look back and share the memories of you with each other. Love you John,Michelle,Anthony, Gianna!
