A touching tribute to a man who was clearly loved! (Remember... A man is never dead, until he is forgotten.)

I miss my grandfather, we called him papa, he was so dear, took me to see John Wayne movies and bought me coca cola and put peanuts in it, funny how it sounds, but how sweet it was, I miss him and mama, hope to see them again one day. Love your videos, keep them coming.

stumbled across this today when I'm supposed to be working :) but what a great break! Thank you for your great memory of your Grandpa Rosa! Looks like the photos of my Grandpa (Salvatore Rosa of Stamford, CT) but he passed when I was gone the year I was born. Looks like you have great memories....and your taking me down Stamford memory lane. Thank you!

Hi Karrieann ! Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I wonder if there's a connection in our family... maybe they were cousins ? Thanks so much for commenting ! Take care - JB
