"Grandpa, never would I have expected to so suddenly be facing this day. I have so much love for you, but I feel there are many things I've neglected to say. You have always been a loving and wonderful person and have been there for me since day 1, your love was unconditional and have made it clear to us all in every possible way. Anytime I needed you, you were there without a moment delay. With your passing, a huge piece of my heart and soul have been torn away. I have so many good memories of you because you've always been there for everything. You were such a good man with a very loving and caring nature, but most would say that your unique sense of humor was definitely your forte. Knowing you're gone is so hard for us all, but you will always be loved and remembered with a devotion that will never, fade, dim or dull. Good bye grandpa, my work partner, my fishing buddy, but most importantly my very best friend." – Andrew. To leave the family a special message online, visit www.NewcomerAkron.com.
