This was my grandpa...he was such a wonderful man...all ways bright and cheerful..maybe that was stubbornness...but he was great...I will miss him dearly even though i only started to get to know him about 5 years ago, I quickly realized he was blood. He cared, took me in acceptingly with no hesitation...another grandchild. When he was trucking to Alaska he would all ways stop in anchorage before heading down to Homer and have lunch with me...I miss you grandpa...I know you will all ways be looking over me... I wish i could give you one last hug.
