Opa you are going to be so sorely missed here on Earth as those of us left behind live out our days. You were a blessing to many during your time here on Earth and loved by many as well. So appreciative the man you were and so glad you are with the Lord. I can just hear him saying, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant"
