I was the first grandchild. I am now 44. Robert was my grandfather. He liked his coins and guns a lot, when we visited for Christmas, he would always show them to us, since he did not really know us, I guess that was his way connect. It was really kind. I remember that house with the blue shutters on the hill and pulling up once a year to go to see him. The butterfly wallpaper always intrigued me. The pictures of Bear Bryant. There might be one photo of me on the wall there with bouffant hair.

"Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord."
