"Ray or as we called him Pepa. He was my last remaining grandfather. All my memories of pepa were great ones. I remember during thanksgiving dinner he would stick his finger in the big piece of pie and say that one is mine. I guess my brother and I brought out the kid in him. Pepa fueled my love for movies and. He would take us out to dinner and then to a movie and let us choose whatever we wanted to eat during the movie. He was always so easy going with me. Never heard him raise his voice, even if he had a long day at work. He showed me love and always took an interest in what sports I was doing at the time. I wish I could have spent more time with Pepa. I?m really happy he got to meet his great grandson. I think Pepa was proud of me. I will miss you. Thank you for all the love and support you showed me.
