My Grandaddy - he had the most loving, giving soul. If there were a manual to be written on how to be a wonderful Grandaddy, my Grandaddy would be the model example. The three words he used the most were, "I love you." I believe we can honor his 89 years of life by using those words every day to our family & friends, because he gave so much love to all of us.
