Whenever I think about my grandfather, I smile... He was an amazing man and I'm so glad he was a part of my life. I will hold all the wonderful memories I have of him close in my heart. Like when he let me win at chess and I didn't realize until my 20's that I really didn't win.. or when he took me on the Log Flume ride and was smiling and laughing the whole time, thinking nothing of it since he's jumped out of planes before, while I was screaming every time we went down a drop... All my memories are happy and always make me smile and his jokes always made me laugh Thanks for the memories...Til we meet again.... Love U Grandpa!
