We will miss you Uncle Teddy.
I always enjoyed sitting and talking with Uncle Teddy. Around the camp fire 🔥 or by the lake.
We lost a GREAT husband, grandpa, father, uncle and great friend.
I will forever miss you papa. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I miss the long talks and lectures. I miss the laughs and newspaper jokes. I miss the goji berry juice and the fish oil. I miss the love and the hugs. I hope you’re doing well.
Love, one of your favorite fishing partners and favorite grandchild (:
I miss you so much. I cherish all the knowledge you instilled into me. And all the love you’ve shown me throughout my life. I think about you all the time. And all I want to do is make you proud and I’m trying. I try every single day. I still remember our last conversation. Every last detail. Down to where I was, what I was wearing, and exactly what we talked about. And I would do anything to have just one more of those conversations. I call your house phone when I know Nana isn’t home just so I can hear your voice. Thank you for being the best father figure any child could ask for. I love you so much Papa.
