My fondest mermories of you Grandpa are teaching me to drive, bringing me home peas, picking mushrooms, smelt fishing and of course taking me over to the zoo so I could slide down the hills knowing that I would'nt get in trouble for getting my close dirty because Mom would always yell at you instead of me. I Love you and miss you Grandpa but I am glad that you are in a more peaceful place. Say hi to Ron for me and I will see you around.
