Grandpa Detwiler was one of the most inspiring people I know. I only got to have him in my life for only four years. During, that time I received the love and support of both grandpa and grandma that most people have never received from anyone. I am so grateful for the time I got to spend with him and grandma. He was my husbands grandfather and he helped make my husband the man that he is today. My husband loves his grandparents so much and they have always been a big part of his life. We both love them so much.

I know he went home to be with Lord.
