Keep up the good work and maybe some day you will be the grandpa spending time with a special youngster. I'm glad that you two had good times together.

Take care Cody and spend some time with the rest of the family. It is always a sad time, but sometimes brings the rest of the family a little closer.

Sorry to hear of your loss. It's okay to have a tear in your eye but your Grandpa would rather your memories of him bring a smile to your face. Hang in there.

Hang in there Cody! Finish your truck as a tribute to your grandpa - he'd like it.
