You are my grandfather.  I never met you because you died before I was born.  You were already overseas when my father was born and you died overseas.  I only found out about you in October 2012.  Your name is in the Books of Remembrance in the Peace Tower in the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, Canada and every year on November 16th the book is open to the page with your name on it. I have been there to see your name on that day a few times since I found out about it.

I wish I had known you and had a chance to thank you for everything you gave to us who survive you.   RIP
