Grandiddy was my name for pee paw. Having to leave this part of the family broke my heart. I will ALWAYS remember my days in the gulf hammock and the stories he would tell of his terrifying days fighting for our country. I think he showed my how to love this country and why I'm so passionate about protecting it now and always. Love you grand diddy! Love Wendy
Dad,
Everyone has always called you Peepaw, but somehow it didn't fit with me because you've always had a very special place in my heart. I called you Dad after I married your son 11 years ago because it just felt right. You and Mom are very caring people with a long list of friends and family. Yes, there was a lot of joking around, but that is what made it such a special family. We were always having fun! Some of my best memories were sitting on the front porch in Gulf Hammock watching you feed your family of animals from squirrels to birds, to even turkeys! I love you and miss you tremendously! You will always be in my heart Dad:-)
Your loving daughter, Susan

Thank you PeePaw for being a shining example of a man and Husband and helping to mold Scott into the wonderful man I married!! I am blessed beyond measure to be a part of the Gossage/Mason family. You will be greatly missed by all who love you, but we are forever thankful for God's Mercy and know that you are healed by His Hands and no longer suffering. Don't worry about the "cowbell".. I promise it will remain in good hands!! I LOVE YOU!!
