View all 8 ReflectionsThis was my grandpa whom unfortunately, was taken way too soon. I remember him through stories I've heard over the years. His murder impacted my family in ways that I would not wish anyone to experience.
I still think of him today and wish I would have been able to grow up knowing him.
