Grand daddy Goddard, you were an amazing person. You were everything I want to accomplish and more. You were always willing to give good advice when needed, and correct someone when they made a mistake. You will be greatly missed in all ways, from yor smile and laugh, to your words that always spoke true. I love you and I will greatly miss you.
