Grandpa enriched our lives so much, for so many years. We miss him already and will cherish the memories of happy times together.
Grandpa made so many of my happiest memories. Feeding “Mo” in the backyard, the golf ball I gave you, my red Christmas dresses, that whatcha-callit doodad, hanging wallpaper, the boys playing with you. Thank you for creating my magical childhood memories and being so important to the great-grandsons, too.

I wish to extend my deepest condolences at this time of sorrow. You will be in my prayers. My father Jimmy worked with Joe at Larch and Sons. I remember him also, but it has been a long time since I last saw him.
