Legacy of a Grandpa: Connecting Across Generations, One Conversation at a T

An Afternoon with Author Rick Cognata

📅 Saturday, February 7
🕐 1:00–3:00 PM
📍 Books on Third | Naples’ Only Independent Bookstore

Join us at Books on Third for a relaxed and meaningful afternoon with author Rick Cognata, creator of Legacy of a Grandpa and author of Connecting Across Generations, One Conversation at a Time.

Rick will be in-store from 1–3 PM, chatting with customers, sharing insights from his book, and signing copies throughout the afternoon. This is a drop-in style event—stop by to meet Rick, ask questions, and have a conversation about what it truly means to be a grandparent today.

Being a grandparent looks very different than it did a generation ago. Rick’s book offers warm, honest, and practical guidance for staying present, supporting adult children, navigating evolving family roles, and building a legacy rooted in love rather than obligation. Written in short, powerful chapters, it’s an accessible and thoughtful read for modern grandparents and families alike.

Rick Cognata is the creator of Legacy of a Grandpa, a vibrant Instagram community dedicated to helping modern grandparents strengthen connections across generations. Drawing from years of leadership experience and family wisdom, Rick shares practical, heartfelt insights on building relationships that last.

Rick lives in New York with his wife and enjoys an active lifestyle with their nearby daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren—relishing the simple moments that matter most.
