Strong, stubborn, independent man, great man who loved his family and country. I remember growing up and being so excited to see grandma and grandpa. Knowing I would get honeycomb for breakfast. We always had fun and I learned so many valuable lessons from him and grandma Pat growing up. Never had a dull moment at grandma's and grandpas. He will be missed not only by me and my family but so many others. Love you Grandpa!
