Gramps-
I will miss you forever.
You were an example of what really mattered
God- Family- People
You were always kind and gentle. You were patient and kind and most of all fun
Always full of an adventure- always with a ‘sure, why not attitude’. Always wanting us to laugh, smile and have fun. You would let us hook our own worms in Red Lion and let us drive Uncle Georges go kart ( even though we were just a little too short) I remember how cool you were for letting us pull the lever on your wood splitting machine- thinking wow you trusted me with this big important job. And The craziest thing to me now as an adult - is that you would let us eat your crabs you bought for dinner- you would let us hammer our own crabs completely destroying it and yell hit again! Yeah!
I am sure you had selfish times- but from the perspective of your granddaughter I don’t remember ever seeing them.
Even when people were just existing you took it as your job to make them smile
You made an impact- you made a difference- by handing out candy canes, or calling someone Florence, or teaching them how to carve a chicken- You went out of your way to make people feel important and loved
People will always remember you- we will always remember you- I will always remember you.
Thank you for teaching us Loving Jesus- Family and People is what it is all about
So Gramps cheers to you with an Oreo and a Coke
Our silly- quirky- Gramps
I am glad you had fun- and I have no doubt you are still having fun
Your legacy lives on in all of us
Katrina
