Grandpa: June 1922 - March 2010

We lost our Grandpa and Great Grandpa this week. We feel sadness but also happiness that he finished life as he lived it. We will miss his wonderful sense of humour which, thankfully, he passed on to many of his grandsons...we will miss his help with a hammer, talking to both him and Grandma on speakerphone when we would call and visiting him when we go home.
