Grandpa was a man of God, the happiest man alive. He could tell stories for hours and still have more to tell! He would give the only shirt he had off his back for anyone in need. Grandpa and I always spent a lot of time talking about this world and God. He always told me how proud of me he was, and always encouraged me to be a better person. By far the best person I’ve ever met. I am very blessed to call this man my grandpa. He loved talking about God, and he loved taking me out to tell me all about his old car in the garage. He will be missed very much. ❤
