Grandpa was the Best Grandpa in the world! He did so much with us! From taking me in a special side gate at Disneyland to see Cinderella when I was 5, trips to FL, DC, and VA, and always let me have anything I wanted...which was always his love. We will be celebrating your life with your Virginia, WV, and TX family from Virginia Beach Saturday. We love you, Grandpa!

Betty and Family: So sorry to hear the news of your father's passing. You are so lucky to have had him for so long. I have wonderful memories of your dad with mine at Knobby Knoll. I have lost both of mine in my 40's and know how you feel. I remember you being friends with my sister Marylou and all the fun you two had at Knobby Knoll - We are trying to sell the cottage now and all. Both of your parents are together now in Heaven. Take care and may the Lord bless you at this difficult time.
