To all the angels in heaven.... get ready to welcome grandpa. He may be a little stubborn, he may watch Judge Judy at an extremely loud volume and he may never understand the phrase "I'll do it in a little while," but you will hear so many great stories of the life he went through and the family he has. He is a WWII Marine hero, plumber, circus worker, great vegetable garden, fisherman, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. May God embrace him with open arms when the moment comes.. And maybe some brandy. Love you Grandpa!
