Here’s what she wrote: “You all knew Chuck norris as the man that counted to infinity twice, the man who got bit by a cobra and the cobra died. He was the man that would not do a push up but would push the earth down. Chuck norris was known for many amazing things but what I am most proud of is I got to know him as my Papa. I knew him as the old man that would come to grandparents days at school, my soccer games and cheer me on as proud as he could be. A grandfather that would sit on his rocking chair and listen to me tell him stories and would sit with me watching his movies and reminiscing on all of his life’s achievements with a huge smile on his face. He would play dress up with me and loved to joke around and had a laugh and smile that could bring you out of sadness,” wrote Greta.

He made everyone he met feel like a friend. Papa is one of the most special people in my life and I am forever grateful and proud that I am his granddaughter. Papa I love you so much thank you for everything. The world truly lost an icon and I lost my grandpa. Now tell grandma I said hi. I love you forever papa,” wrote Greta.
