A man who was short in stature who stood as a Titan in our family. A brilliant uneducated genius, a soft spoken man with a message that now echoes past his time with us. My heart breaks and rejoices at the same time knowing that your with my grandmothers and aunts now. I love you to the moon and back. I will do my best to keep it under a hundred.
