Our Grandfather was a great man and I will miss him terribly. I always looked up to and admired him. I take comfort in the belief that he is reunited with my Grandmother in Heaven.

My grandfather was an outstanding man. I was/am so proud to tell everyone about his successful career in the United States Air Force and what he achieved over his lifetime.

He was our family leader. He loved us all very much. It will not be the same without him.

He will be loved, missed and remembered always.
