Leroy James Mathies

One of my favorite memories with grandpa is when he would come up north to the cabin! When he was there we would go out fishing! He loved going sunny fishing! When we would be out he would tangle up his line some how. Once that happened he would just sit back and smile watching josh, ambrea and myself still fishing.
One time when we were sunny fishing I caught a dog fish. 1st one I had every caught. The thing put up a fight. While I was fighting the unknown fish at the time grandpa was telling me not to give up and that I had it. Got the fish in the net he got a big smile and said great grandma mathies would have loved that for her garden. Which lead to hearing about great grandma.
I will always cherish those fishing trips we got to take with Grandpa! I love you Grandpa!!

I alreasy miss you so much dad.
