“He was a Great Man”, Papa was the best papa, daddy, and husband ever. Papa worked hard his whole life. He believed that a man should work hard and provide for his family. He loved and thought the world of his grandchildren. As long as papa could drive his tractor and work on his land, he was a happy man. There was nothing he would not do for his family. He gave all his love to his wife, children and grandchildren. Thank you papa for teaching us: to be good to others, never taking anything that doesn’t belong to you and to always be honest; as he always said, “a man’s word is all he has.” We will miss you everyday for the rest of our lives. We know you are in heaven, driving your new John Deere tractor and working on your new land. Thank you for being our papa. We will cherish all the sweet memories you have left us; we love you so much!
