grandpa moe

The first time I heard the name Grandpa Moe was on March 13, 2004 during a Best Man speech given by Sticky for his brother Chuck's wedding. I noticed that day how much Sticky's face lit up when he said that name. You could see the love without even knowing the two of them very well. I was lucky enough to become Sticky's girlfriend after that special day which meant I was also lucky enough to get to know Grandpa Moe. So many of the wonderful traits that I love about Sticky have come directly from Moe. His wit, adventurous spirit, generosity and acceptance of others are just to name a few. Moe is not just Sticky's Grandpa, he is his cherished best friend.

Monday, May 29th 2006, Grandpa Moe peacefully passed away. I cannot begin to express my feelings on how much I am going to miss that kind, warm man. In the short time that I knew him he has left me with some precious memories. And of course he has left Sticky with enough memories to talk about for a lifetime - and every time that he does I know that his face will light up just like it did the first time I heard him say that name. You will be so missed by so many Moe.

Sticky's cousin and also cherished best friend, Ed, has an extremely eloquent post on his and his fiance's blog about the life of their Grandpa Moe. Please visit and read about the amazing life this man lived.
