Grandpa always had his own speed for doing things. My brother and I have a running joke about the fact that he drove so slow, he would pass a neighbors land and notice how well the corn was growing that week. Thank you for the memory.

In addition to his wonderful sense of humor, I will always remember times in the past when I got to watch Uncle Jim and Aunt Betty dancing together. They are special memories. Aunt Betty, you will be in my prayers.
