Poppy, You were so much more than a grandfather to me. We have so many memories together it is hard to know where to begin. I loved riding in the car with you when I was a little boy and singing all the silly songs we sang together. I remember sitting on your lap while we watched football, my enthusiasm for football I owe to you. All the times you passed football to me in the backyard, took me to the shore, so many memories I have of you. One of your favorite stories to tell about me was when I was about 3 years old. We were walking though the snow together and suddenly I was gone, you looked down and saw two little hands sticking out of the snow and you rescued me.
I am so thankful for the last time I saw you. It was You,Dad, Chris and me all together for the first time.
Four generations. Even though you were in the hospital we enjoyed our time with you.
As I began to write this message, my wife told me to put in some good memories. I told her ALL my memories of Poppy were good, there are no bad memories. And that is the truth. One thing is for sure, NO ONE can ever take away my memories of you.
You were always there for me and were so very good to me. And for that I am so very grateful.
I love you Poppy.
Little Jimmy
