CONDOLENCES
I love you so much Daddy. Happy Birthday to you...I hope you are at peace in heaven and you're with Auntie Bev and Grammy Haberman. I miss you so very much. I love you forever.
From: Candy
Grampy, I will miss you more than anyone will ever know! A grandfather like you is hard to come by. The memories you left me with I'll hold close forever--the Wednesday night spaghetti suppers, setting off fireworks in your driveway, you always wanting to have more hair, so you would put our long hair over your head and smile! I love you so much, and will miss you everyday. ~Amanda
