To put into words the indescribable pain inflicted on a family with this kind of loss is so hard. To live in the hole that was created generations later is impossible. This man was a hero and had a wonderful future, it was taken so tragically and suddenly and because of it we never truly recovered. I would have loved to follow in your footsteps, to have any bit of you in all of our lives. We will always remember you, and I will continue to have you live on not just in my name, I love you Grandpa.
