My memories go back as far as I can remember with my papa and all of them are filled with laughter, kindness, family time, being outdoors playing, watching TV together and eating our favorite things at our favorite places. He always said that nothing made him prouder than the legacy he will leave behind and I know he's smiling down upon us right now. From being a little boy in Niles, to a war veteran, to a hard working man and provider to his family, he was the most unconditional loving son, brother, friend, husband, dad, grandpa, great grandpa, and great great grandpa. Our papa Pine left his mark on us forever and showed us how to be a great person in this world and love each other wholeheartedly. I can go on forever but for now I will just say that I miss you so much already that it hurts. I love you so much and feel so blessed for every minute I had with you on this earth. Your love and wonderful life will live on in me forever
May you be at peace and eternal rest Papa

Renae what beautiful words about papa. He left behind a very special place in our hearts individually. Papa you always had a full table of things I remember going through all the time when I would visit and the counters and you would say go ahead dolly you want that you can have it. Our gatherings with the family were more then special with lots of memories! I love you and will miss you??
