Rest in peace to my great grandfather. I’ll miss all the times we wokeup at 4am, tip-toed around the house collecting our things for the drive out to maryland where we watched the sky catch on fire through sunrise. Those long days as we went crabbing or fishing are some of my favorite times with you. I miss you &
I love you forever and always, poppop.
