My Grandpa loved me and my whole family. I know we all had a special place for him in our hearts. If I could hear him one more time, I know what he would say, "Give me a besito." or "Josh, come watch me play poker. I'll teach you".My Grandpa was so free spirited that if he could go to one last vacation, he'd be speeding down the road to Las Vegas with Grandma saying ... "Slow down!" One of many good qualities that he had was that he was entertainment. If everyone was bored, he'd put smiles on in a flash. Whenever I spent the night at Grandpa's house, he always knew the coolest shows like "Do You Want To Be A Millionaire" or "Deal or No Deal".When Grandpa left, it felt like a little part of us went with him. We were devastated, but we will never forget him and we will always keep a special place for him in our hearts. I will always remember December 9, 2006.
