I too will miss my Granddaddy. He was a wonderful man. I will always treasure the memories I have of him - he and Grandma teaching us to fish and crab, him wiggling his ears for us for a special Easter "treat" and that he always remembered to send us a card on our birthdays. He truly was a caring and generous man.
