"My grandpa was truly one of one.
There has, and never will be, a single grandpa like him.
He loved like no other.
Was loved like no other.
Laughed like no other.
Lived like no other.
Truly one of one.
I've never met someone like him before.
Someone who could brighten anyone's day with a joke no matter how corny.
Someone who would jump on a strangers back in a movie theater to make his family laugh.
Someone who after almost 2 decades of battling cancer, and years off & on of chemo treatments never failed to keep a smile on his face.
Truly one of one.
My grandpa was a fighter through & through.
A real life Avenger.
But he didn't have to get into a boxing ring, or pilot a jet, or put on spandex and a cape.
He was a fighter in the sense of no matter how many times life kicked him down, he got right back up and kept trucking forward.
Paps was a man who feared nothing and no one.
He wasn't afraid to talk to any stranger he met.
That was something that (don't get me wrong, was embarrassing at times) but something I always admired about him.
Something I've always struggled to do, but someone I will strive to always be.
I've never met someone who has accumulated more friends over the years as my grandparents.
Everyone loves them.
Everyone wants to hang out with them, go on trips around the country and world with them, play card games every week with them.
They both have made impacts on countless peoples lives.
I will always love them both, and I'll never forget my Paps."
