Thank You Grandpa for all the great memories. I know that you are finally at peace in your heavenly home with Grandma by your side again. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone whose life you have touched in a positive way (or negative way...from your Army/patrol days). I will move forward knowing that one day we will meet again in heaven. Until then I will deeply miss you. (P.S...Ask God to help those Brewers and Cubs.) God Bless Grandpa. Love you. Travis Paul.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
