Ted Haartz here on Lee's line: Oops, the previous posting attributed to Lee, my wife, was actually my remembrance of the close relationship I had with Stan, his mother and father, and Jeanne and Paul. Sorry about the confusion I may have caused.

I miss Stan as he was the closest person to being a brother to me during the first 20 years of our lives. I lived in the city of Somerville, MA abutting Medford where Stan resided. We were in DeMolay together during our late junior high school and high school years and attended Tufts College at the same time, along with his sister Jeanne.
As for Stan's tradition of desserts on the breakfast table, that harks back to our grandparents and aunts in Nova Scotia from where both our mothers emigrated. A half-dozen types of cookies was a common offering on that table. Ted Haartz (1st cousin)

I will miss cooking for Dad. Whenever I cooked one of his favorite meals, after finishing everything on his plate, he would always say:
Well, you had luck with that :)

I'll miss Grandpa's wise cracks and sense of humor more than anything. And those rare special moments when I'd be sitting next to him, and he'd reach for my hand unexpectedly and just hold it quietly. And his eye rolls were legendary -- I hope mine are even half as scalding.

I will miss everything about Grandpa but one specific thing I will miss is looking over to the loveseat/couch during some sort off family get-together and seeing Grandpa napping. It was always the funniest when Grandpa, Papa, and Dad would all be napping, after eating dinner, in the exact same position and all snoring.

I will miss Grandpa’s wicked sense of humor and being able to make him belly laugh. It was always a win when you were able to get him to laugh out loud.
