I loved my Grandpa very much. My favorite memories of him are when he would take us fishing at Indian Lake. I remember his dog KD was his best friend and went everywhere he went. When KD past away Grandpa was so upset. My wife(Bobbi)and I have a little Chihuahua named Bender and whenever we left town we would have grandpa watch him for us. Grandpa loved to watch him. He called him,his dog. He loved when Bender would jump up in the chair with him and lay on his lap all day. He was sad every time we came back to pick Bender up and couldn't wait to see him again. Grandpa use to give us silver dollars for almost every holiday. He had a big personality and loved to joke around. I will miss him very much and will always remember all the great memories. I Love You, Grandpa.
