• My Grandfather’s Bootleg Obituary…

  
  They won’t let me post this on my own Grandfather’s obituary page online because it contains lyrics from a song that has always reminded me of him.  So, here is what will not be in his obituary page…

  He was the closest thing in my life to Superman.  A natural-born world shaker…

  “Show me the way to go home
  I’m tired and I want to go to bed
  I had a little ‘tea’ about an hour ago
  And it’s ‘time to rest’ my head
  So where ever I may roam
  On land or sea or foam
  You will always hear me singing this song
  Show me the way to go home…”

  I’ll miss you Poppa…
