Iām getting married this weekend, and my grandpa was going to officiate. After a quick battle with illness and what we found out to be a rare cancer, he passed away yesterday.
He was the greatest ever, and I was so blessed to love and be loved by such an amazing man. Our last conversation was about how well the Knicks were playing this postseason, and how upset he was that he didnāt think heād be healthy enough to officiate the wedding. Going to be an extremely tough week to say least.
His favorite player ever was Mickey Mantle, but his favorite saying, and one he always told me in my playing days was āsee the ball, hit the ball.ā A simple saying that can be helpful in everyday life as well to be honest.
A lot of people feel guilty praising people after they pass, but Grandpa knew how much he meant to us, and we all knew how much we meant to him. Nothing really needed to be said.
I love you Grandpa, and I know everyone is so stoked to see you in Heavenā¤ļø
