I knew this day would eventually arrive but i didn’t know it would come so soon. Unfortunately, this morning my Grandpa passed away after a long battle with cancer. Not surprisingly, he held on as long as he could, a fighter until the very end. It is comforting to know that he won’t have to fight anymore, that he has found some level of peace.
I am forever grateful and feel so lucky to have spent 25 years with him.
A man of a lot of words and a big heart. We will always remember how he didn’t know a stranger and talked to anyone and everyone that crossed his path, his clever sense of humor, his sharp memory, his newspaper clipping of when he got struck by lightning as a kid, his love for sports and crossword puzzles, his pet goose, his love for pineapple ice cream & his love for Notre Dame. We’ll especially remember how fondly he spoke of Grandma Cecilia, his unfailing devotion to his family, and his reliability.
