My grandfather was a good man.

He was a patient man.

He liked to laugh, but even more that that he loved to make others laugh.

He never said an unkind word to, or about anyone.

When we were children he would drop whatever he was doing to play with us.

If we found a big fat green caterpillar, he would share in our exitement by doing something silly,
like running to get his measuring tape to see how big it was!

When we were naughty (usually Randy and I, Valerie and Ryan were always so good)
he would threaten to " rough us up a little" which usually meant a good tickle and nothing more.

Grandpa gave us some of the greatest gifts we shall ever receive.

His love for animals has been passed to every one of us.

His love and selflessness for his daughters Jaquiline and Marleene is now a part of who they are,
as they put the needs of thier children and grandchildren before thier own.

When they say everything happens for a reason, I would say that is true. When grandpa was
diagnosed with alzheimers disease--I just couldn't understand--it wasn't fair--he didn't deserve
that--he was so good.

As time did pass, the answer became clear. With the alzheimers we lost our grandpa, just a little
at a time. For we would not have been able to bear the heartbreak of losing him all at once.

I will always love you Grandpa,
I was born on your birthday,
You were my hero, and you always saved me.
Give my love to Grams and tell her we will all be fine, we still have each other.
