I'll never forget our tours around his fruit trees when we went to visit, Grandpa teaching us about the stock market from the time we could talk. Feeding Mr. Gar dinner scraps, and who could forget those trips to the dog track and the $20 he would give me to bet...I always left with that $20, Grandpa and Dave none! haha More recently I enjoyed our phone debates in politics. How I wish His namesake Anthony could have met him. Love you Grandpa!
