Granddaddy was truly a wonderful person and I am forever grateful to have been able to share many beautiful years with him, listening to his stories and observing how he lived day-to-day. When someone has lived this long it is imperative to gain as much knowledge as possible. Granddaddy, you will always be in my heart.
