Grandpa Wally,
I know that since Grandma Annette died years ago you have distanced yourself a little bit from the family. I will admit that it made me bitter at times, but it didnt change the fact that I loved you. You will always be that grandfather who brought all of us around in his golf cart, pool hopping where you live (which was necessary since it was always a hundred plus degrees), telling interesting war stories, showing us your disgusting detective books, bragging about the green bay packers, and just always laughing about anything and everything.
I am sorry that you never got to know your granddaughter-in-law, I know that you would have loved her, I know that I do. But I am comforted to know that you made amends before you passed and that the pain is now gone. You lived a full life that I can only wish to live myself. But I want you to know that you will always live in my heart and mind and that the world is less without you.

MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
