I was honored and proud to have this man as my grandfather. My sister and I spent many summers visiting my grandparents and I could never describe the joy and excitment we had. He taught me any things from hunting, shooting, being a good person, and dealing with things life throws at ya. I love you and you will be missed greatly grandpa... from all your stories (which everyone loved), jokes (you never hesitated on), and that smile (which was a lil mischievious).... I love you and one day we will meet up again and go hunt down "ol googley eyes".
Your Grandson,
Dannyboy
