Eternal Affection Arrangement- BASKET INCLUDED

I knew Hib as I was growing up. Hib and Dorthy use to play cards with my mom and dad (Grant and Irene Dyer), When we moved to Hudsonville my husband and I would see him at the fair riding in a golf cart checking things over. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Grandpa you will be missed thank you for always being there for me and the family

I only knew Hib for a short time as he moved in across from my dad at Green Acres. Hib always made me smile as he always welcomed me (as one of his 'girlfriends'), told jokes, and called out for help with the volume on his t.v. He seemed to enjoy life right to the end!

Hib was always a favorite!! Loved that man!
