He will be greatly missed by many, but most of all by his kids who thought the world of him. He was ALWAYS there for us when we needed him. He was a very loving grandpa to his grandkids. He loved having them around to hold and cuddle. One of his favorite things was sharing a popsicle with Liam. Liam was one lucky little boy to have him for the short time he did. And me and my siblings were extremely lucky and proud to be able to call him our Dad. I will miss you more than you know....I love you very much! Your fight is finally over...rest peacefully now. We will see you again!"
