To the best "Tho-pee Tho-pee" giver, Grandpa Tony,
You made Grandma Alma so happy. You made our visits from Florida so much fun between the bowling alley visits to the daytime movie dates. I was so lucky to call you my Grandpa. But I'm even happier to have called you Great Grandpa to my Gabby. She loves you and misses you so much. We all miss you so much. We know that you are in the Great Big Bowling Alley in the sky and know that your spirit lives on in all of us. You wore so many hats. You were kind and friendly to everyone you met. I strive to be a grandparent and Great grandparent like you. Watch over Grandma Alma as this journey called life won't be easier for her without her "Le Pew."
I wish you could have got to meet my husband, Floyd as he is goofy and makes me laugh like you did. In your absence, he stayed up late watching movies with Grandma and drinking every cup of coffee she offered him.
Your service brought so many friends and family members together as you would have wanted it and although we were sad, we were happy for the experiences and life we had with you.
I will always remember you making up random jiggles and hiding candy/sweets from Grandma and sharing it with us. I will always remember the bowling alley trips and how cool I thought your bowling bag, shoes, and ball was. I will always remember your infectious laugh and smile and how it made everyone in the room feel so much better. I will always remember you caring for your Crazy dog Norma Jean and her pups Xena and Hercules. I will always remember how much you loved Grandma Alma and kept her on her toes. I will always remember that even as you got sick I never heard a negative tone or anything less than a smile in your voice on my calls from Florida.
I will always remember when you 1st met Gabby at 6 months old and then at 5 years old and how you loved hearing her grow up and seeing pictures of her. I will always remember your camera around your neck and you always taking the perfect shot at the perfect time. We love you so much and will miss you so much.
Rest in Peace Grandpa & Great-Grandpa Tony.
