Papa,
It's hard to see someone like you leave this world, but it's nice to know that you're no longer suffering and you're back with Granny. I loved that you would almost always do the goofy things that Xander and I asked you to do just to be entertaining and get a laugh out of us. I will miss you for the rest of my days, but one day we'll meet again. Love ya pops.

Oh Papa.
You were always a character, whether it be talking to the dogs, or being silly with Cole and I.
I’m going to miss you more than imaginable.
Thank you for being a great grandpa to us, and an even better role model for me.
I love you so much and cannot wait to see you again!
