Dearest Grandpa Louie,
My love, Grandma Onofre, is your daughter. Although, I never met you, she told me all about you, and what a wonderful man you were. She spoke about you until her own death in 1984, when she was 80 years old. Til that day she still called you "my daddy". You're a hero.

Love, your great-great granddaughter, Lisa.
