Grandpa was a great man! My favorite memories of him are relaxing holidays, drinking black coffee, Irish Springs Soap, playing cards, black walnut fudge, and watching Westerns. I will miss him a lot. Even though Michelle and I are not there physically, we are present in prayer.
Much Love,

Mary Jo and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the times spent in your home and what a warm, loving family environment your parents created. I lost my dad 7 years ago, so I understand how difficult it is. My thoughts are with you.
