No one could give better advice, no one listened more carefully, you were our voice of reason Grandpa. You were the backbone of our family. There was/is no man more patient and kind than you. I know we will meet again someday. Say hello to my Grandpa Norbie, Grandma Audrey, Grandma Elma and give my Dad a really big hug for me up there in heaven. I love you.
