GGP

Our dear GGP (Great Grand Pa) passed away on July 1st, 2010.  He was a loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose joy in life was being around his family.  At every opportunity, he insisted on treating the grandkids out to lunch or dinner at one of his many favorite restaurants.  He always looked forward to when any of the family was coming into town and asked about each of his grandkids and great-grandkids often.  We knew he loved us all very much.

Dillan is so lucky to have spent his first year of life with GGP.  Seeing GGP would always bring a smile to Dillan's face.  They seemed to have a special connection that only seems to exist between babies and the elderly.  Every day, they would have 'Dillan and GGP time' and spend some precious moments with just the two of them.  They would have 'conversations' back and forth, that only they understood.  GGP loved sitting next to Dillan in the car, playing with him and taking care of him.  He was always concerned and looking out for Dillan as he grew from tiny infant to rambunctious toddler. 

We miss you, GGP.  We look forward to seeing you again one day.
