Ken Sr (Grampa Geezer) was a great guy that could make you smile (if not laugh) whenever you were sad. It's sad for us here, but we can be comforted with the knowlege that he is hanging out with Jesus at this very moment; he is smiling brighter, and laughing louder than he ever did in our presence.
In the memory Ken Toureene Sr.'s "dash".
