Rest In Peace Gentle Giant

Friday, December 28, 2012 at 11 a.m. we said see you late to the "Gentle Giant". 

 

A husband, father grandfather, great-grandfather and brother. It was one of the hardest things I have had to do in 2012. He was a man of honor, respect, great wisdom and knowledge who knew how to love unconditionally and not judge. He was soft spoken and could be stern when need be, but always a gentle soul. Willing to share what he knew always especially his love for golf and the old movies. Oh an boy did he love his Patriots and Red Sox. The rule was you would not get much words from him if he was watching sports, especially golf. He loved play a good game a golf, some of his favorites were Jack Nikelson and Tiger Woods.  How one could sit there and watch men chase a white ball all day was a little beyond my understanding, but to daddy it was a great sport.  He was quite the althlete himself playing football and baseball. 

Here he was at auntie's watchin the game, we always went to aunties for wither dinner or dessert for the holidays.  It was nice to have ple get up and tell what they thought was special about our dad and how he touched their lives.  Well I have been trying to finish this page for 2 days now so I guess I will stop here now.  I miss you daddy, am so grateful for all that you did for me when I was growing up and even when I was an adult.  Now time for some tea, knitting an a movie!
