  • Grandad will be sorely missed. He was the type of man who could fill a room just by quietly and proudly watching the family he loved at any gathering. He was quick with a song, and a saying or two, and taught us all to think, and dance, and sing from the time we could walk and talk. We will always remember him, especially when we pass his teachings, and sayings down to the little ones of our family as they grow up. He will always be a big part of our family, even in his absence. - Posted by: Erin DesRochers (Family) on: Jan 25, 2007
