Grandpa- You were always such a big part of my life since I have been five years old. You were not only my Grandfather, you were my mom, my dad my everything. I remember moving to New York to live with you being so scared but my fear being immediately vanished when you showed me all of the love that you had for me. I remember being at the dealership with you until all of your work was done and then we would finally go home for the night. You would always make us barbeque chicken and/or steak for dinner every night.. that was your specialty!! :) Then I would fall asleep on the couch with you always knowing I was in a safe and lovable environment. I remember being six years old and you and Kirk taking me skiing for the first time. I would ski between your legs and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. We would race down the mountains trying to beat each other to the bottom. I knew then and always that I had the coolest Grandpa in the world. I loved our trips/vacations that we took together. The long rides listening and singing along to AM music and hearing all of your stories that always made us laugh. I loved your stories, they always managed to put a smile on my face... You had a way of telling them that would make anyone laugh! From our first ski trip to our first vacation to our first trip to the race track together... I have cherished every moment and I forever will. I am so glad that you got to meet my little girl before you passed... you made a lasting impression on her as well as everyone else that knew you. Even though you are not here with me anymore I know that you are shining down on me from heaven. I tell my little girl to look up in the sky and find the brightest star and that will be you looking down on her from above. I love you so much Grandpa, words can not even express how much I miss you, you will be greatly missed by all... Goodbye Grandpa until I see you again one day!

Carseats. They could see out the window in their carseats.

When I moved back to Rochester in 1992, I was 7 months pregnant. Mom and Dick had been together 7 years. I drove to work with Mom everyday, and waited at the townhouse until the dealership closed. We ate dinner there, unless we went to the track. Once Bella and Ally were born, we still did the same thing. Only we took turns holding the babies, and eating dinner. They were at the track when they were four days old. Papa used to tell the story of driving around Wegmans parking lot, running the stop signs because the girls would cry if he stopped. He let me use an old wagon he took in trade because the girls could see out the window in their carpets. He introduced customers to "the twins". Walk arounds were around the stroller. Isabella took her first steps in the showroom. The girls first boat ride was on his boat. Papa was a huge influence in Ally taking up riding. Her riding and shows made him so proud. He tried multiple times, always changing tack, to get her on Poncho. That was never at match, but he tried so hard. I hear his voice in my head now. Telling long stories, with his hand in front of him, wiggling, saying "you see" to make sure you got his point. His high pitched "hehehe", if the story was funny, followed by a long sigh "ahhhh". We loved him so much. He was a huge part of our family for nearly three decades. It's so quiet now, and I am so sad. I love you Papa. You were a really good guy.
