Pappy Gene



I know we are all feeling a little bit sad,That we've lost our Grandpa, our friend and our dad. Together we have cried an ocean of tears As we feel so empty and hold many fears



But Grandpa would want us to know he's in a good place And that he watching us all with a smile on his face As we have made him so proud, as proud as can be That he has raised such a beautiful and special family



Thinking back now I really must say I feel lucky and privileged to have known Grandpa to this day For in my life, you have played a special part The memories I will treasure and keep close to your heart



For me I am glad my little baby he got to meet And for all of us, be grateful, his life is now complete To each one of us he has loved and cared And a family, be thankful for the good times we shared



Although he has gone we will always be together And his spirit will live on each one of us forever When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star As that will be Grandpa looking down on us from afar



And now I would like to thank the good Lord above For blessing us with our Grandpa with his kindness and love Dear God, if it is not too much fuss Take extra special care of our Grandpa as he is very dear to us



Grandpa if you are listening say a prayer for us every day Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way We know when God called you, you had to go But we want you to know Grandpa we miss you and love you so.

Rest in Peace Pappy. Hope you enjoy your Christmas with Grandma this year.

My pap passed on Dec 14th. He had struggled for almost a week in the ICU in Ruby. My Dad and Uncle Doug did the right thing for their Dad. WE will miss him greatly.
I want to remeber my spry pap. The one that chased us with a garden hoe, snuck us off one by one to see the kittens and told us not to tell the other kids. Who ordered chip chopped onions and ketcup on a hamburger..none of those sliced things. Who went to St. Augustine beach in his blue jeans, flannel shirt and work boots. His pokes of baccy and Swisher Sweets. Will luv and miss him dearly!
