I remember when grandpa would babysit me he would have me fall asleep in his arms and then he would fall asleep and grandma would get mad when we got into trouble and he didn't realize.

Please accept Patty and my condolences. Unfortunately we weren't able to meet your Dad but knowing you, (Tim) says a bunch! He obviously was a kind and generous man, as well as a fun guy, even being a packers fan that could throw a bowling ball showed character. Tim and family we are very sorry and wish there was a way to send a hug. Tim , you be sure and give mom a big hug and if you need a hand with ANYTHING , please call.....even if it's just moving something. Sincerely,
