Though we couldn’t be there in person, we were with you all in spirit. Our family is incredibly grateful for the love, kindness, and memories shared today. We’ve been home with our precious newborn, Piper – your newest great-grandchild – and have been thinking of you every moment. You were a beloved Poppa and Great-Poppa. Your strength, warmth, and humour live on in all of us, and Piper will grow up hearing stories of the wonderful man you were. Forever in our hearts. With love, Zackary, Marissa, and baby Piper
