John A Elegante Born January 15,1933 - Died August 4,2008
John's father past away on August 4Th. We are all very sad and miss him so much, but we know that he is in heaven with his family that has passed before him. He was such a loving father, Grandfather and the best father-in-law in the whole world! He truly had a heart of gold! He suffered for 5years with prostrate cancer. He was always so positive and gave it everything he had!
We are going to miss him and think about him everyday! The kids are having a difficult time not only because he was their Grandpa but because he was always there for them , always being their cheerleader in everything they did!! He loved it when Madison would come home from a soccer game and would give him every detail of the game or, Dakota showing what he learned in his karate class! He enjoyed watching Shelby color for hours at the table where he sat. And Jordan, Always making sure he made it to his scouting trips. He took a trip to Denver last summer with Jordan and they went to a Rockies baseball game. He hasn't stopped talking about that!! Dad was always there for John and I!
We Love you daddy!!

So sad! I really liked him and his sense of humor, and even him calling me Pocahontas.;-) How is the fam holding up?
