MargaretGrandpa the most memorable moment that I have is the day that you walked me down the isle on my wedding day, Scott was sure that I was having cold feet as we where going one step forward and 3 steps back. Having you in my life for nearly 33 years has been the amazing you have been able to watch me grow into a beautiful lady and help me achieve my accomplishments with your kind words and support. My children absolutely adore you and are blessed to have such an amazing great grandpa. You will be missed but not forgotten love you grandpa.
