We miss you already Grandad. You taught eric do much for the short time that we knew you. He says he can't wait to see you again, so you can teach him to fly. I'll miss finding it, in the comics, to see who can find it first. Miss all of your very odd but sometimes useful inventions and all of your shenanigans. Im glad you got to see that i now have 4 hubcaps. Miss you fixing things, and ill miss your stories. Love you grandad. Kate and Eric (Rooster)
