I remember u specifically telling me, Gramma gave u an allowance of 20 dollars for the WEEK! I would always convince you to spend on snacks at the hockey game on Friday nights. Reluctantly, you always gave it to me. Corn nuts, Skittles, gumballs, Chuck a Puck, Slush Puppies.”

The Baby hitmaker, who is married to Hailey Bieber, went on to say, “Shout out to the Jr B referees Beatty, Fagon, Flanagan for enduring my grandpa's heckling for all of your horrible referee calls lmfao.

“My grandpa wasn't shy in letting them know that they were being pieces of s**t.

“I can't wait to see u again soon in heaven. Until then, I know ur watching down, probably still heckling Beatty or Fagon for missing that cross-check call in the corner there.”

Before concluding, the j crooner wrote, “I will miss u. I will ache. And I'll sit and let myself remember all the wonderful times we've had.”
